According to "The Battle of Lundy's Lane"...
"William Lundy was a former Pennsylvanian who had come to Canada in 1786 with his wife and five sons to take up land lying a mile and a half along an Indian trail running west from the falls. Charles Green, a New Jersey Loyalist who owned the land over which the trail ran, donated it as a public road, and it became known as Lundy's Lane in honor of the prominent farmer whose property bordered it. South of the ridge, on both sides of the portage road, lay the property of James Forsyth, who owned a tavern and livery stable midway between Willson's Tavern and the junction of Lundy's Land with the portage road. Forsyth's daughter Sarah had married Christopher Buchner, formerly of New Jersey, who obtained from Forsyth, either by purchase or gift, most of the ridge south of the lane and had built a house on the southwest slope. West and south of Forsyth were the farms of Benjamin and Haggai Skinner, members of a Loyalist clan from Delaware. Haggai's daughter Lydia had married a recent American immigrant, Stephen Peer, and the couple resided at the southeast foot of the hill.
