• Notes

  History and Family Record of John Treichler of York County, Pennsylvania, and Lineal Descent from his son Daniel Treichler to the Presnt Time. Compiled by Melissa J. Snearly Mary Treichler was married about the year 1796 to John Miller, who was born in York County. Pa., Jan. 20, 1760. They moved to Canada in the year 1802 and settled near Chippewa. Ont., preferring to live under a monarchical form of government. And they were ever loyal to the King. Only once was their loyalty doubted. It was at the time of the war between the British and the Americans in 1812. Those were trying times to the inhabitants who dwelt on the frontier, bordering the Niagara River, where battles were fought and British soldiers were liable to pass at any time on their way to and from the different forts. A decree was issued that all those who were true and loyal to the King should, as a sign of their loyalty, erect a pole in front of their residences from which a silk handkerchief should float. All who did not comply strictly to these orders were probably considered enemies. One day word came to the Miller family that the soldiers were coming their way. So Aunt Mary Miller and Aunt Mollie hastily hoisted a tablecloth. When the soldiers came along, instead of a silk handkerchief, they beheld floating in the breeze a tablecloth. This provoked them, for it was not according to orders, and they halted to inquire the meaning. Not being satisfied with explanations, they seized Uncle Miller and took him along with them, threatening to imprison him. His plea was that he had nothing to do with the matter, and said it was the women who put out the tablecloth. So they let him go. Of course, the. women were innocent in their intentions. Perhaps they thought the larger the flag the better.
