Ely Playter was born in New Jersey on November 30, 1776, to a Loyalist father and a Quaker mother. By the 1790s, Playter, with his parents and siblings, had moved to York in Upper Canada. He married Sophia Beman in 1806. In York, Playter worked as a tavern-keeper, farmer, and militia officer, and was elected to the House of Assembly in 1824. He died on August 29, 1858. As a militia officer, Playter participated in the War of 1812 including the siege of York. His diaries describe his difficulties in rounding up local militia men during the War of 1812 as well as the fall of York to the Americans in 1813 and its subsequent occupation. These documents are a rare first-hand account of life before, during, and after the War of 1812.
  His diaries also describe his farming and lumbering activities, election practices in Upper Canada, activities in the House of Assembly of Upper Canada, and various movements affecting New York politics in the 1840s.
