The Last Surviving Soldier of the Revolution
I have found that at least three sugar houses in New York City were used as prisons for American soldiers during the Revolution. I will assume that the Old Sugar House on Liberty Street is the one which is spoken of on the plaque above. The conditions of the prisons were horrid. I am gratified that McGregor lived a long and hopefully peaceful life in New Hampshire after his suffering as a prisoner of war.
Go read the accounts of the Old Sugar House at Incidents of the Revolution and British Prisons and Prison Ships.
