From the William G. Pomeroy Foundation, "Heroine of Fort Niagara Betsy Doyle: History happened here."
There is a minute and a half video as well as a historical marker featured at this site.
Some more information about Betsy Doyle:
** She has been called "The Hero of Fort Niagara."
** After the fort fell to the British in 1813, she took her family 310 miles to the Greenbush Cantonment.
** There, she continued to support the American cause, often without pay.
** She died in 1819.
** In 2012, she was named a New York State Woman of Distinction for her bravery.
