Hello all, A few weeks ago I posted a message regarding Jacob Frantz of Akron Road, Lockport, who took up arms against the British in the Caroline incident during the Canadian Patriot War. Vee kindly gave us the history of that fascinating affair. I had received the quote, which evidently was written years ago, from the Niagara County Historian's Office, I was recently at the office in Lockport and found the exact article. This shows that Jacob Frantz was not the man involved; it was a matter of mis-interpretation of the quaint writing, an easy thing to do. Here is the gist of the article: Excerpts from a clipping "Our Travelers", unnamed newspaper dated September 30, 1902 (Frantz file, Niagara Co. Historian, photocopy difficult to read) "Jacob Frantz of Akron Road who has one of the finest farms...in Niagara County...(is) building a large and well-appointed pig sty... Mrs. Frantz (Jacob's wife) was born on the farm in 1840...daughter of Daniel Bosserman. (My note: the rest of the article refers to pioneer Daniel Bosserman, whose farm was now Jacob's.) In 1837 he (Daniel) with others hereabouts was called out to take up arms and go to Niagara Falls to repel the British who set the steamer Caroline on fire on Niagara River, an account of which appears in the Pioneer Souvenier History issued by the Lockport Journal." I hope that sets the record straight. I enjoyed my too-brief two-day visit to Lockport--found some old family sites, visited the Historian's Office, the library and the Genealogy Society--(all were extremely helpful) and enjoyed seeing the locks.
