• Burial*: 25 November 1827; United Empire Loyalist Cemetery, Adolphustown, Lennox & Addington Co., Upper Canada; FindaGrave: Name: Conrad Vandusen; BIRTH: 23 Apr 1751, Dover Plains, Dutchess County, New York, USA; DEATH: 23 Nov 1827 (aged 76), Adolphustown, Lennox and Addington County, Ontario, Canada; BURIAL: United Empire Loyalist Cemetery, Adolphustown, Lennox and Addington County, Ontario, Canada; MEMORIAL ID: 172806880; Note: Conrad was son of farmers, Robert Vandusen and Christina Ham. From 1773 he leased a farm in Rensselaer Manor, and in 1777 he joined Col. Edmund Fanning's loyalist regiment in New York City. Conrad is described as colourful, adventurous, extroverted and dramatic. He was over six feet tall; straight, well-proportioned, portly, and very active. He played a part in the escape from prison of Capt. McAlpin, a member of Col. Fanning's regiment. While in disguise returning to fetch his wife and children, he and a comrade were captured and tried as spies. Sentenced to death, they managed to escape, in part by submerging themselves in a swamp. The family settled on the shore of the Bay of Quinte where Conrad was granted 400 acres. Here he opened a store and tavern. This establishment was the scene of many a night of drinking, gambling, and reminiscing among Conrad and his former war companions. After the hungry winter Rev. William Losee passed through the area and converted many to the faith of the Gospel. It is reported that Conrad tore down his signpost, closed his tavern, and took to a life of prayer. Indeed, he contributed the largest donation to the building of the Hay Bay Church in 1792. This conversion and revival coincided with the death of Hannah, Conrad's first wife, and his marriage a few months later to the widowed Millicent Hover. Both had young children, and they must have been suffering from grief and momentous change in their lives. No wonder they needed a church and faith. Millicent and Conrad had eleven more children. One of them, Conrad, became a Methodist minister. They remained in the area until their deaths, Conrad on 23 November 1827, and Millicent on 27 April 1829. Both are buried in the Old Loyalist Burying Ground at Adolphustown with no headstones. The oldest gravestone still standing in this cemetery is that of Hannah, Conrad's first wife.
