During the War of 1812, James McClatchie was a spy for the British. While on a mission up across the border, he was shot by the Americans but was able to make it back to his clearing on the British side of the border. The irony of it all was that a doctor from Chateaugay, N.Y., was sent for to extract the ball.

Now, in my opinion, James McClatchie was the unsung hero of the Battle of the Chateauguay, because if it was not for his work as a spy, the Lieutenant-Colonel Charles Michel de Salaberry and his 300 men could not have defeated the 5,700 American troops lead by Major General Wade Hamilton, as they would not have been prepared for the onslaught of the Americans. Montreal and the Province would have been lost!17

[S217] Robert Sellar, The History of the County of Huntingdon and the seignoiries of Chateauguay and Beauharnois from their first settlement to the year 1838 and revised to the 1900's by Robert Sellar. , Pg. 54 In the fall of 1810 another settler came, in the person of James McClatchie, who had resolved to follow his father-in-law, Wm. Reed. It was in September that he was ready to move from where he was living at the time in North Georgetown. He borrowed the largest canoe in the settlement, which had been formed by hollowing out the trunk of a gigantic pine, and in it he put his wife, their four children, and all his household effects, placing it in charge of his wife's uncle, Joh Cantello, while he himself kept to the road and drove his live stock, - a yoke of oxen and 4 cows. That year lumbering had been unusually active, there being a great demand for oak and masts for the royal navy. Of the magnificent character of the trees that then covered the district some idea may be formed from the fact that when the little party got near Ormstown they found a mast, which had got adrift from a raft, lying across the river, at least 100 feet wide, from bank to bank. The only way to make a passage for the canoe was to chot it in tow and let the separated portions drift away, which Cantello did. He was a big man, and propelled the heavy-laden canoe by oars in deep water and by a pole in shallow, the oxen being brought into service to tow it up the rapids. On reaching the Cove, the canoe had to be left, and the rest of the journey made on foot. McClatchie lost no time in putting up a shanty on lot 29, where a small clearance had been made by an American, Peter Comstock, who had moved next to Reed, and cut and stacked some marsh hay along the Walker brook for his cattle. It ran short, however, for the snow of that winter was of unprecendented depth and continuance, being 4 feet on the level, and with a crust on it. The year following, the snowfall was equally great. To keep his beasts alive, he had every day to fell trees for them to browse upon, which he did unwilligly on Sundays, for he was a strict Presbyterian, as was also his wife. The crops in 1812 were abundant, and after that the family knew no scarcity.

Hatch guided 300 men through the woods to McClatchie's and surrounded the house. Mrs. McClatchie, hearing a noise, looked out the window and an officer made a cut at her with his sword. This just missed her. The officer made his apologies but found out the patrol was gone. The soldiers spent a cold night under the stars, not daring to go back through the bush at night.

  21. [S477] Two letters to the editor by Wm. Maither and Charles F. Cruchon relative to James McClatchie and the First Concession, Hinchinbrook, QB, Canada, William Maither has written:
    I visited the small McClatchie Cemetery on the Roland Riel Farm on the First Concession. It contains about a dozen graves, some of which have deteriorated beyond recognition. The marker of James McClatchie and his wife Lucinda are in good shape, lying flat on the ground with some of their children - the Rev. John McClatchie and Malcolm and Martha.

    The cemetery has two butternut trees and an ash tree and the relics of a stone wall, but very little brush - the Riel's horses have kept the grass mowed!

    If the cemetery is not declared historic, perhaps, at least, a marker of some kind could be erected at the roadside with the permission of Mr. & Mrs. Riel and some voluntary work could be done by interested parties.
  22. [S619] Bilow, John A., Chateaugay, N.Y. and The War of 1812, After this episode, Lyman Brown was hired to go to Canada again, this time alone. His luck ran out as a party of thirty-six Indians jumped him and took him to Montreal. There he was imprisoned for nine weeks. In the course of time, James McClatchie, a citizen of Canada, insisted that Brown was a spy and notified the British in Montreal. Upon the receipt of this news, Brown was placed under rigid confinement and fed bread and water for eighteen days. He was then examined and released, as McClatchie did not appear against him.

Of the magnificent character of the trees that then covered the district some idea may be formed from the fact that when the little party got near Ormstown they found a mast, which had got adrift from a raft, lying across the river, at least 100 feet wide, from bank to bank. The only way to make a passage for the canoe was to chot it in tow and let the separated portions drift away, which Cantello did. He was a big man, and propelled the heavy-laden canoe by oars in deep water and by a pole in shallow, the oxen being brought into service to tow it up the rapids. On reaching the Cove, the canoe had to be left, and the rest of the journey made on foot. McClatchie lost no time in putting up a shanty on lot 29, where a small clearance had been made by an American, Peter Comstock, who had moved next to Reed, and cut and stacked some marsh hay along the Walker brook for his cattle. It ran short, however, for the snow of that winter was of unprecendented depth and continuance, being 4 feet on the level, and with a crust on it. The year following, the snowfall was equally great. To keep his beasts alive, he had every day to fell trees for them to browse upon, which he did unwilligly on Sundays, for he was a strict Presbyterian, as was also his wife. The crops in 1812 were abundant, and after that the family knew no scarcity.
  11. [S619] Bilow, John A., Chateaugay, N.Y. and The War of 1812 (unknown publisher address: unknown publisher, unknown publish date), On one occasion, Sam Hatch of Hinchinbrook, who had become a spy for the Americaqns, brought word to Chateaugay that a patrol was staying at James McClatchie's. Hatch guided 300 men through the woods to McClatchie's and surrounded the house. Mrs. McClatchie, hearing a noise, looked out the window and an officer made a cut at her with his sword. This just missed her. The officer made his apologies but found out the patrol was gone. The soldiers spent a cold night under the stars, not daring to go back through the bush at night.

(Huntingdon, QB: The Huntingdon Gleaner Inc., 1888), Pg. 51. Reed squatted on lot 38 in 1810 or 1811, and it is probable about that time, a small sawmill was pu up at the mouth of Beaver creek.
    Pg 52. A short time before he did so, an American built a small sawmill on the Hinchinbrook, and was thus the founder of Athelstan. From that place the road followed pretty nearly its present cours to nigh the frontier, where a blazed track branched off, leading eastward, and which led, by many crooks and turns, to Russeltown and Hemingford. On this road there were several settlers. The first was William Reed, already mentioned as living near Ste. Martine, and who afterwards moved up to lot 32, N. Geo. When he came to undwerstand the nature of the seigniorial tenure and would have to pay rent, determined to have land of his own, and in 1807 he moved to the first concession of Hinchinbrook and settled on the Burnbrae farm (lot 25). His departure was regretted by the settlers of the Chateaugay settlement on account of losig the society of his wife, a clever and very eccentric woman, who spent a good deal of her time in visiting, made welcome at every house, for she supplied the place of a newspaper and had an inexhaustible flow of caustic and humorous small talk, which she varied by songs. Her visits she generally made on the back of a bull, whose horns were ornamented with ribbons, and on which she even made trips to Montreal. She was, despite her birth, a loyal British subject. It is related that she fearlessly visited relatives in Vermont durig the war. On her way back, finding no canoe wherewith to cross the Richelieu to the Canadian side she was not to be baffled. Presently the British sentry saw somethig white waving on the opposite shore, and taking it to bew a flag of trucereported, when the guard turned out, and a boat sent off, to find Mother reed standing along, and chuckling at the success of her ruse.
