Hi, A possible clue in your searches - Williamsville was incorporated in 1850, being taken off Amherst that year. Cheektowaga (Chictiwauga, in French's Gazetteer of 1861) was taken off 1839) Amherst, in turn, was taken off of Buffalo in 1818. So, at in 1813, it would have been in Buffalo, possibly even known as Black Rock at that date. Buffalo's own two major hospitals weren't formed until the 1840s and 1850s. Williamsville would have been at the outer, eastern edges of the settlement in 1813. Is it possible that a field hospital was set up at the time. I've done some checking on field hospitals during the Civil War; most of them were very temporary affiars. Williamsville would in been in the line of the mass exodus of settlers in December of 1813 during the burning of Buffalo. According to Pierre Berton's _Flames Across the Border_ (McClelland and Stewart, 1981, 0-7710-1244-6) reports that only three Buffalo buildings remained unburnt after the attack. All things considered, I think you have quite a job ahead of you. Hope this helps, David Minor >Hi!
