The item is likely a banner of the Nova Scotia Loyalists and has been dated by the dealer as 1789. Scholars have reiterated several facts: that the date is late to early nineteenth century; that the motto "Resurgam" is appropriate to the Nova Scotia Loyalists. There has been some inconclusive discussion about possible use of masonic symbols in the coat of arms. There has been some investigation but no successful link to any particular family.
