It took one whole week in getting from Buffalo to Detroit and it took 12 yoke of oxe and one span of horses to to the boat over the rapids below the mouth of Buffalo Creek. The steamer was a cross between a steamer and a sailing craft. She carried two high masts and was fitted with a square-rigged foresail. The fares between Buffalo and Detroit were $18 for cabin passengers and $7 for steerage. When full, the steamboat carried about 150 passengers. Her last season was in 1821.

Although the battle was tactically indecisive, it provided a much needed boost to the North after the defeat at Fredericksburg. There were over 23,000 casualties. Henry and David were honorably discharged after serving over three years.

John Bricker: John Bricker is the first known Bricker ancestor. He was born in Germany around 1723 and left a will in Maryland dated 16 May 1777 listing his wife and seven of his children.

Henry Freeman Hughes: (3rd great-grandfather of Ella Landis, who married William Henry Bricker.) Henry was born in Wales in 1723 and was a seaman in the English navy. It was said that he deserted his ship, probably at Boston, from a dislike of the service and that when he came to East Haven, he claimed that he was a freeman, and that his name was Freeman. Some time afterwards, his brother Bodwell came and told people that his real name was Hughes.

Ernst Diedrich Piepenbrink: Ernest was born 5 February 1802 in Windheim, Germany and immigrated to American on the ship Bark Republic which departed from Bremen, Germany on 1 July 1846.

Sarah Tuttle: (6th great-grandaunt of Ella Landis, who married William Henry Bricker.) Sarah died at the hands of her brother.

Benjamin then ran away and hid in the woods. He was hanged for murder that same year. What makes Benjamin's action even more unusual is that sister Mercy (who, the author believes, witnessed the murder of Sarah) would, fourteen years later, kill her own son Samuel by striking him on the head with an ax.
