Oak Tree at Peekskill used to hang Daniel Strang
Daniel Strang ( ca 1743/1746 - 1777 ), son of Daniel Strang and Elizabeth Galpin, was the likely father of Jesse Strang.
He was captured by revolutionary forces near Peekskill, NY with papers authorizing him to recruit forces for the British. He was tried as a spy and hung from this oak tree.
Until it was destroyed following a lighting strike in 2006, a plaque on the tree read:
"This tablet has been placed here by the Cornelia Beekman Chapter,
Junior Sons and Daughters of the Revolution, June 6, 1912
in honor of this tree upon which was hanged Jan 27, 1776
an American who was employed
as a spy by the British" |
