1. Anthony Frederick Armbrister Marker
Anthony Frederick Armbrister is a descendent of American Loyalists on both sides. His great-grandfather John Armbrister, Sr., was born in Charleston, South Carolina, fled to east Florida, then came to the Bahamas with other exiled Tories. Tony's grandfather W.E. Armbrister, Nassau merchant and politician and Cat Island planter married Eugenia Bode, who was a descendent of Dr. Charles Bode, surgeon to the Hessian Grenadiers in America during the Revolutionary War. Tony came to Cat Island with his parents Cyril and Frances Armbrister where, as a young man, he built their house from materials recovered from the plantation buildings. He has now developed a resort village at Fernandez Bay, Cat Island.
