Robert Lyon was fatally wounded after the second attempt. He
was laid to rest in the same cemetary that he passed through
on the way to the duel site.
John Wilson and Simon Fraser Robertson were arrested and
stood trial in Brockville, Ontario two months later. Acting
in their own defence, they were found not guilty by the
jury.
John Wilson married Elizabeth Hughes in 1835 and they had
three children together. Wilson later went on to become a
lawyer, judge and Member of Parliment. He died on June 3rd,
1869. Elizabeth Hughes lived until 1904, dying at the age of
ninety-three.
Henri Lelievre disappeared after the duel and it is believed
that he died years later in Australia. He was considered by
many to be the true culprit in the affair but he never stood
trial.
