Adam Shortt was a Prussian soldier originally spelling the name "Kurtz"
Kurtz was an apprenticed weaver in his own country and disliking both master and trade, he ran away to Hanover where he was recruited for soldiering under George III.
After peace was declared, he elected to stay in the new world settling on 300 acres on the High Shore, Sophiasburgh. He changed his name to "Shortt" by translating it in order to get along with his British and American neighbors.
"Shortt" served with the British but left them and made his way through the American lines to New Jersey. He lived there 15 years, working as a weaver.
He left New Jersey about 1800 with his wife, nee Odell, and four children, settling at Green Point on the Bay of Quinte, in Sophiasburgh.
He lived here many years, worked as a weaver until shortly before the death of his 2
