• Residence*: circa 1800; Earl St., Kingston, Frontenac Co., Upper Canada; "Streets in Kingston named for residents; With all the regal street names in Kingston - King, Queen, Princess - you might think that Earl Street is named after some long-forgotten title dignitary. In fact, Earl Street is named after Hugh Earl, a commander of the provincial navy. But it was his wife, Anne Earl, who actually owned the plot of land bounded by West, Johnson and Bagot Streets. Anne Earl was the daughter of Molly Brant (Degonwadonti) and Sir William Johnson. Two Kingsotn streets are named after Anne's father, William and Johnson."

• Note*: 1812; Kingston, Frontenac Co., Upper Canada; "Commodore Hugh Earle served in the Upper Canada Provincial Navy [2] as Commodore of the Provincial Marine from 1812-13 during the War of 1812 [1]. He commissioned in the lake service in 1792. It appears that he participated in the First Battle of Sackets Harbor on 19 July 1812." https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Earl-1631⁷
• Note: July 1812; Lake Ontario, Upper Canada; "The only argument raised in defence of the Provincial Marine came from the pen of James Richardson, second lieutenant on the Moira. He had joined that service in 1809 at the age of eighteen, following in the footsteps of his father, James Richardson senior, an old Royal Navy man who had emigrated to Upper Canada and worked as the master of several merchantmen on Lake Ontario. The younger Richardson was promoted to lieutenant during the spring of 1812 as part of the effort to bolster the number of officers. He appears to have been the sole member of the Marine who sailed with Hugh Earl, witnessed the events of 1812 on the lake and left a memoir of his war days. Regarding the July attack on Sackets and the duel with the Julia, Richardson recorded nothing but, stung by the criticisms directed at the Provincial Marine during and after the war, he wrote:
  Our little squadron, though not very much celebrated for exploits in the way of fighting, managed, however, to keep open the communication between the Eastern and Western Divisions of the Army . ... The importance of such services in the then uninhabited state of the country, and the lack of land conveyance owing to the badness of the roads must be obvious. Though the Marine played a useful role as a transport service, its superior firepower was wasted, and its mismanagement robbed the British of early opportunities to gain control of Lake Ontario. The cost of that mismanagement became obvious during the autumn of 1812 when the Americans sent a competent and ambitious naval officer to the northern frontier to gain the naval initiative." Lords of the Lake: The Naval War on Lake Ontario 1812 - 1814, Robert Maclomson, page 37.
• Note: 9 November 1812; Lake Ontario, Kingston, Frontenac Co., Upper Canada; "In July 1812, Master and Commander Hugh Earl of the Provincial Marine Corvette Royal George (22 guns and launched 3 years earlier), had attacked Sackets Harbor. Five months later, in November, an American fleet of seven ships under Commodore Isaac Chauncey sailed to the Bay of Quinte area determined first to capture the largest British ship on Lake Ontario, the Royal George and to harass merchant shipping, then to destroy the Kingston Dockyard. In spite of light winds and a determined enemy in pursuit, the Royal George escaped, arriving the next day safely in Kingston's inner harbour. Chauncey had attacked her all the way there, but after encountering vigorous gun fire from both Royal George and the Point Frederick and Mississauga shore batteries, he failed to press home his attack and withdrew.

Contemporary sketch map of the shores and measures in the vicinity of Kingston from a survey by Lieutenant H.L. Renny, RE, and soundings by Acting Lieutenant W. Bayfield, RN. Fortifications and buildings are illustrated on both Points Frederick and Henry. Inset illustrates the proposed alterations for the dockyard. While he likely intended to exploit his dominant position on Lake Ontario the following year, it did not happen. In early 1813, the British abandoned pre-war plans to move their naval base to the safer position of York, and the quick build-up of Kingston's defences coupled with major warship construction was clear recognition of the strategic importance of the site and a willingness to defend it." from "Flight of the Royal George", (https://extlin9.rmcc-cmrc.ca/en/college-commandants-office/flight-royal-george)
