From the June 28, 2013, Hamilton (Canada) Spectator "Namesakes."
In Hamilton, Canada, Sheaffe Street runs between Bay and Park streets and is named for Sir Roger Hale Scheaffe (1763-1851), a senior officer in the British Army who fought in the French Revolution wars and the War of 1812.
He was a Loyalist general in 1812 and made a baronet in 1813 after succeeding General Isaac Brock as commander and Lt. Governor of Upper Canada.
So, If You're Ever in Hamilton.... --Brock-Perry
