Was this house Fitzgibbon's "outpost"

[edit]

How does the assertion that this house was the destination of Laura Secord reconcile with other articles, such as Battle of Beaver Dams that say James FitzGibbon was stationed at an "outpost". Was the "outpost" in fact the house? Verne Equinox (talk) 22:55, 30 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Short answer? Yes. It certainly qualified as an "outpost" at the time although by virtue of its location although it was also regionally important, more so than one would expect from any place described as an outpost. Natty10000 (talk) 16:38, 19 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Sources that use Decew House

[edit]

There's Decew House Heritage Park, which is a natural area surrounding the remaining foundation: [1][2][3]. This is the main reason I think it'd be weird to use other alternate spellings and it indicates that this is the most currently-used modern-day one.

There's also this source from Brock University about the house itself that also uses the DeCew spelling [4]. Heritage Thorold does as well [5]. This news article, again with the same spelling, about the house being restored [6]. I mentioned how modern sources typically use this spelling when I moved the page, but I figured I should probably be a bit more thorough. If this would be considered controversial, feel free to revert my page move and I can start a move discussion on the premise of everything I just wrote.
