The cabin was located where the eastern part of Oakwood Cemetery is today in the Wainfleet Township. In late 1814, it was believed to have been looted by American troops from Buffalo. His war losses are said to have included cash (Gold and Silver), watches, knives and forks, clothing, butter and candlesticks. The cabin was last lived in by his son George.
