1837 REBELLION
A letter from an anonymous writer to William Lyon Mackenzie, dated 8 Feb 1839, describes a "George W Meyers, son of Colonel Meyers of Belleville," who was on the wharf in Belleville and said he "going to look after Mackenzie". An informant reported this and George was arrested. According to the letter his father "an old Loyalist" got one of his brothers to tell the jailer that a different Mackenzie owed George money and if he would check George's account book he would see that he was wrongly accused. He was released.
