Talk:Duff Baby House

American general
'In 1807 the building was bought by James Baby and was used as the headquarters of U.S. General Harrison until it was ravaged by the British during the War of 1812.' Could someone please explain why this building, which was in Upper Canada, was being used by the American military? There is something missing, either a reputable source confirming that this was US territory at the time or a narrative of how an American military managed to invade British territory with impunity. Where there skirmishes there before the War of 1812? Were the British residents of the area deported? Is this http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/William_Henry_Harrison the same General Harrison? If so, there is no mention, at this point in time, of any stay in Windsor. Grandma Roses (talk) 15:16, 28 September 2011 (UTC)


 * The information you question should be referenced, but this is too complex a subject to be discussed in an article about a house. What you are asking is only peripherally related. See the articles about Harrison and the War of 1812 for more information. Secondarywaltz (talk) 17:13, 28 September 2011 (UTC)
