A diary entry from a War of 1812 soldier dated March 30, 1814, records the march of 12 miles through Waterford or LeBoeuf in Erie County under Corporal John Withrow Jr. The entry also details a stormy night near Put-in-Bay Island, where about 80 regular troops boarded the ship Detroit, while others traveled on the Queen and Porcupine or remained for transport to the River Raisin. The account appears in The Pennsylvania Volunteers in the War of 1812: An Anonymous Journal of Service for the Year 1814.
