• Along with eighteen others, Adam Chrysler was tried for High Treason at Ancaster for having actively favored the American side in the War of 1812. On June 16, 1814, he was declared guilty by Justice Campbell and handed down the sentence of drawn and quartered at the trials now known as the Bloody Assizes of Ancaster in l8l4 as a traitor to Canada. His wife Elizabeth, who testified for the unsuccessful defense of John Johntson and Isaac Petit (but could not testify for her husband, by law). Adam himself thus had no witnesses who defended him against the charges. Johnson, Petit, and five others were granted clemency, three prisoners died of typhoid in prison, four received pardons, and one other escaped, but Chrysler and seven others were hanged.
