Assessment comment[edit]

The comment(s) below were originally left at Talk:Robert Heriot Barclay/Comments, and are posted here for posterity. Following several discussions in past years, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.

I wouldn't say it was impossible for Barclay to have won the Battle of Lake Erie; certainly, entering the battle he was at a disadvantage, but after two hours of battle, the Lawrence had been so heavily assaulted that it looked as though the British were going to win the battle. This was made possible by Capt. Elliott's reluctance to bring the Niagara into battle until Perry boarded her and brought her in. After the Lawrence was disabled though, the British seamen were for the most part convinced that they might be victorious.

Barclay's wife[edit]

There is a story, that may require verification, that Barclay took stock of his physical condition after his court-martial and offered to release his fiancée from their contract. Her reply was that she would marry him "so long as there was enough of his body left to contain his soul." 107.219.55.162 (talk) 20:28, 11 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
