David Lepard was murdered at a Durham meeting (a political rally) 15 Oct. 1839, aged 19. “At the time of the Durham Meeting on Yonge Street just north of Toronto, [Peter] and his son David was returning from the city when they were set upon by the ruffenly tories from West Gwillimbury and elsewhere who had gathered at the meeting with their waggon loads of shillalas. David was knocked out of the waggon and brutally murdered and that without having given the least provocation other than his father was a reformer or a rebel as the tories called those who differed with them.” He is buried in the Children of Peace cemetery.
