General Notes:
"The story is told that after lurking some time in the neighbourhood he ventured to his own house, and was captured there. 'His captors, not being sure of his identity, carried him before the minister of the parish, but not getting satisfaction from him, they took him to a farmhouse where his wife and children resided. On his approach his children ran out and greeted him with cries of, "Daddy ! Daddy !" and so unwittingly sealed his fate."
