My 3rd great-grandfather, Joel Peeler, late of Rutland, Jefferson Co., NY, was one of the
participants and one of the eleven prisoners (of one hundred fifty-nine
total prisoners) that the Brits hung following the abortive 1837 Battle of the Windmill in
Prescott. He rests in an unmarked grave @ Ft. Henry.
I hope to contribute my information and learn from others about this little
known but important series of events in Ontario & Northern NY
