According to the Canadians, Spilbury was In the campaign of 1814 in command of the ship Niagara; shortly after the successful attack on Oswego, N.Y., on 6 May, Spilsbury was taken prisoner during the bungled advance up nearby Sandy Creek and was later confined at Cheshire, Mass., until the end of hostilities. reference Broichmore (talk) 11:47, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply

Added as a note - I need to look at Malcolmson to see if Popham was the ship's commander of the section commander. Llammakey (talk) 12:03, 19 September 2024 (UTC)Reply
