It was in Jersey as I recall that Simcoe’s rangers cut down a bunch of rebels guarding (not very well) a ferry pass or some such. Supposedly they recognized each other as neighbors to an extent and greetings were offered but they butchered them all anyway.
The guy is revered up in Niagara. He was a governor or some such; the town has a statue for him.
Simcoe was the first royal governor of what was then called Upper Canada. I guess they really loved the guy up there.
