Yeah. I looked him up and was disappointed to find out that he survived the war and went on to fight in other British battles around the globe and retired in Britain and died a natural death. If anyone deserved a quick slit of the throat, it’s Simcoe.

I think they have exaggerated Simcoe, who I believe was not stationed in Setauket. My understanding is information came to him that led to suspicions about Woodhull, so he marched to Setauket but Woodhull was not there. He worked over the father (who was not a Loyalist) and left.

He actually commanded the Queen's Rangers (American Loyalists) who served in the New Jersey campaign and marched on Philadelphia. I infer from that that Simcoe was away from Long Island and didn't have another opportunity to look for Woodhull.

In the show he's a darn good villain. His voice is creepy. Hope that's not how he talks off camera.
