When in the neighborhood of Detroit, he made his home with his half-brother, William Forsyth, who had married a Miss Margaret Lytle, daughter of Col. William Lytle of Vir- ginia. Here he was always a welcome guest; and here 6o MASSACRE AT CHICAGO he met Mrs. Forsyth's younger sister, Eleanor. She was the widow of a British officer, Capt. Daniel McKillip, who had been killed in a sortie from Fort Defiance. Since hi...s death, she, and her little daughter Margaret, had made their home with the Forsyths.
