1837 REBELLION
A letter from an anonymous writer to William Lyon Mackenzie, dated 8 Feb 1839, describes a "George W Meyers, son of Colonel Meyers of Belleville," who was on the wharf in Belleville and said he "going to look after Mackenzie". An informant reported this and George was arrested. According to the letter his father "an old Loyalist" got one of his brothers to tell the jailer that a different Mackenzie owed George money and if he would check George's account book he would see that he was wrongly accused. He was released.

DEATH: "Tobias died in a tragic accident. Bears had been bothering the farmers, so Tobias and George (his brother) went out one night when there was a full moon to see if they could shoot it, as it would crush the cornstalks in the field. They separated in the cornfield and lost sight of one another. George thought he heard the bear and shot, but it was his brother, Tobias, who lay dead in the field. He was buried in the Old Sidney Burying Ground, the 2nd of John and Polly's children to be buried there." (MS)
