John Vardill
Author
1749 – 1811
Who was John Vardill?
John Vardill was an American Loyalist educator, pamphleteer, clergyman, playwright, poet, and British spy. Though successful in writing pro British government articles, and an even more brilliantly successful British Loyalist spy, his pamphlets had little effect on preventing the separation with Britain, and his spying in the end was counter-productive.

He spent the rest of his life after 1784 as a country parson, and raising and educating his poet daughter.
