Elizabeth Heisler - US to Canada 1780
Looking for information on Elizabeth Heisler.Family lore has it that she was orphaned when her parents were killed and that she was held hostage until a ransom was paid for her.We have documentation that her ransom was paid for by Col. John Butler of Butler's Rangers Fame (Niagara area, Lincoln County, Ontario) and that she was in that area by 1780.Elizabeth eventually married Sgt. John Young (a Butler's Ranger) and lived in the 4 mile creek (today's Virgil) area in Lincoln County.Her second husband was John Devereaux and her third was John Lawrence.Any information about Elizabeth would be greatly appreciated.
