The lighthouse her husband operated was located where the remnants of Fort Mississauga are today, along the shore of Lake Ontario, surrounded by what is today the Niagara-on-the-Lake Golf Club.
Mary calmly walked through thye men with refreshments and helped the wounded several times as the battle raged around her. She returned to her house near the lighthouse for more supplies. Miraculously, she was not wounded or killed.
When the American soldiers ntorched the town, she housed as many of the townspeople as she could at her place.
