The merchant ships had a ruff time on the high seas, not only from the weather, but from the many British war ships, and other powers that patrol the seas. All merchant seaman know there was always a chance of their ship being captured and taken as a prize or worse. The merchant sea man also worried about being impressed into the British service as no British subject could work on any American ship at the time, if a merchant seaman or any other seaman now a American citizen but was born in any British colony, he was known to the crown as a British subject and would be taken off ship and imprisoned or impressed to a British ship.
I know there are some researchers who had and ancestors on a merchant ships, and know quite a bit about him, but know little or nothing abut the ships they were on. This page is to help fill in some of those gaps of your ancestors history.

A list of American vessels insured by the Rhode Island Insurance Company, which have been captured by some of the powers at war.
Schooner Polly of Newport: Owners John Bigley and Charles Cezzens, both of said Newport, burden of vessel about one hundred tons.
On the 18th of June, 1803, she sailed from New York, bound on a voyage to Jamaica, and thence back to New York, with a cargo of lumber and provisions; vessel and cargo of the value of about five thousand dollars. On the 13th day of. July following. on her outward passage, she was captured by a French privateer called the two friends, commanded by Beson, if his name be rightly recollected. The master with his papers was taken and detained on board the privateer; the mate and crew put on board a boat and compelled to leave the schooner and provide for their safety as they might; fortunately they arrived safe to land. Captain Bigley was put on shore at miaguiagua, S. W. part of Porto Rico, being first stripped of his papers, and the property about him.
The prize-master and men put on board the schooner, conducted her to Samana, in the island of Hispaniola. Vessel and cargo, according to information, were sold there by order of Government, and the proceeds deposited in the public treasury, to be paid over to the concern. The amount of these proceeds is not known but report makes it a trifle compared to the value of the property. What or whether any process was instituted against her by the captors is not known, or whether the had any commission; it is supposed they had none. Owing to the difficulty and infrequency of the communication it has not yet been in the power of the concern to obtain the proceeds.
Schooner Ann and Harriott, of Newport: owners, Robert Stevens and Robert Rogers, of Newport; master, William Shearman, of Newport; burden of the vessel about ninety-three tons.
On the 17th of June, 1805, she was captured by a French privateer, called the Lucerne, on her passage to Jamaica; afterwards on the — day of— 1805, she was recaptured by an English frigate of war, called the Diana, and commanded by Molony, and was sent into Jamaica, where vessel and cargo were libelled and sold for salvage: value of vessel and cargo about ten thousand dollars.
Brig Mary, of Newport owner, Thomas Dennis, of Newport; master, John Davis, of ditto; burden of the vessel about one hundred tons.
On the 8th day of April, 1805, she sailed from Newport for Jamaica loaded with codfish, provisions, &c. that the 26th same month, she was captured by a French armed boat, whether commissioned or not unknown. The crew of the brig were forced into a boat, with some provisions, and driven off to seek their safety as they could. They got to one of the Bahama islands, the master was afterwards put on shore at one of the Bahama islands. The brig and cargo were carried to Baracoa, in the island of Cuba. No process whatever was instituted against the property, by the captors; they there embezzled the cargo and sold the vessel.
Brig Orange, S. A. Wanton, master; Thomas Dennis, of Newport, Rhode Island, merchant, owner, laden with fish and provisions, bound from Newport to Jamaica; vessel and cargo valued at $10,000, insured by the Newport Insurance Company, $4,000 on cargo.
The Orange was taken on the 21st July, 1804, by the French privateer Voltigeuse. The officers and men were stripped of every thing, even to the clothes on their backs, and left entirely destitute. The property was taken to Baracoa, in the island of Cuba; no form of trial or condemnation was had. The cargo was distributed by the captors in their own way, and the vessel, it is believed, burnt.
Brig Sally, Stephen Chase, master; Seth Hoard, owner, bound from Jamaica to the United States; vessel and cargo estimated at $4,000; insured by the Newport Insurance Company, $2,700.
The captain, in his protest, declares that after being detained by an embargo at Falmouth, in Jamaica, he sailed from thence for Montego bay on the 28th of April, 1805; that he had been out about four hours when he was captured by a felucca within a mile of the shore. The captain of the felucca informed captain Chase he was a good prize, and that he had orders to capture all American vessels on the coast of Jamaica. The Sally was taken to Cape Coure, in the island of Cuba; in the island of Cuba; no condemnation or form. of trial was had, and Captain Chase, and three out of six of his men, after being stripped of their clothes, were ordered to take to their boat. They did so, and fortunately arrived at Montego bay on the 29th of the same month.
Schooner American Lady, Enoch Toby, master, owned Brown and Ennis, of Newport, merchants, and others, cargo rum &c. bound from Jamaica to the United States; value of vessel and cargo $4,000, insured by the Newport Insurance Company.
This vessel sailed of the 16th February, 1805, from Morant Bay, south of Jamaica, bound for Camden, State of North Carolina. On the 20th of the same month, being about five leagues distant from the Isle of Pines, she was brought to, by a small privateer under the French colors, mounting on swivel gun, and manned with fifteen men, principally Spaniards. The vessel was taken possession of, carried to the Isle of Pines, the captain and men plundered and abused, and left on shore at this desert Island without any means of subsistence except a dozen of biscuits and a bottle of rum.
They would have all perished there had it not been for the compassion of a Spaniard, the only inhabitant of the Island. The Captain and crew remained at this place until another French privateer arrived there, when they taken at the request of captain Toby, near Savannah La Mar, on the south side of Cuba, from whence the traveled to Havana. The captain noted his protest with the American consul, who attended him to the Governor. Captain Toby explained to the Governor the ill treatment he had encountered; demanded a restoration of his vessel, which was now within the Governors jurisdiction and the release of Moses Henly, a free black, one of his crew who had lest a wife and family in the United States, and who was in the greatest distress, as the captors were determined to sell him a slave for life. The Governor made little or no reply to Captain Toby’s remonstrances or petitions. After waiting some time, finding himself unable to obtain redress, he was compelled to abandon the property and return to the United States.

The Enterprise and Hamilton are two only of several vessels lately sent to Halifax, the proof required it is difficult, and in some cases impracticable, to furnish, and it is a question whether it ought to be submitted to. I subjoin a copy of a letter from Mr. Solicitor Stewart to Mr. Michael Wallace, the agent of the assured at Halifax. It fully details the sentiments of Judge Croke.

Battle Between The Chesapeake & Leopard 1807.
The United States frigate Chesapeake, was on a cruise in the Mediterranean sea, under the command of Commodore James Barron and sailed from Hampton Roads on the June 22, 1807, having on board a crew of more than three hundred and seventy men, and was completely equipped with every thing necessary for such a ship of war sailing on such a cruise. In proceeding to sea, from Hampton Roads, she passed a British squadron at anchor in Lynnhaven bay, in passing the British squadron was passing signals to each other. The British ship of war Leopard, of fifty guns, one of the squadron then at anchor within the limits of the United States, weighed immediately after getting a signal she took to the sea. Then at three o’clock in the afternoon of the same day, as the Chesapeake neared Cape Henry, which was then a bearing of northwest by west, the Leopard came up to the Chesapeake, backed the main topsail and spoke her; Commodore Barron, understood that the Leopards commander had communications for him and hove to.
A officer was accordingly sent from the Leopard to the Chesapeake, who, on his arrival, presented to Commodore Barron a note from the captain of the Leopard respecting some deserters from some of His Britannic Majesty’s ships, supposed to be serving as part of the crew of the Chesapeake. Commodore Barron sent his answer back stating he knew of no deserters on board his ship and had been ordered that no officer would be a allowed to search his ship. Shortly after the command of the Leopard received his answer, the Leopard came along side the Chesapeake and opened a heavy fire.
When the attack upon the Chesapeake commenced, some of her guns were not securely fitted in their carriages; some of her sponges and wads were too large; but few of her powder horns were filled; her matches were act primed; some of her rammers were not in their proper places; her marines were not supplied with cartridges enough, while those they had were not of the proper size, and she was otherwise unprepared for action. The Chesapeake made no resistance whatever, but remained under fire of the Leopard for twenty to thirty minutes, when, having suffered much damage in her hull, rigging and spars, and lost of three men and eighteen wounded, Commodore Barren ordered lair colors to be struck. Commodore Barron, immediately after striking his colors, he sent Lieutenant Smith on board the Leopard to inform her commander that he considered the Chesapeake her prize.
The commander of the Leopard sent an officer on board, who took possession of The Chesapeake and mustered her crew, and carrying off four of her men, who were: John Strahan, William Ware, Daniel Martin, and John Wilson, After the ship had been abandoned it was found the she had thee feet or water in her hole and on the advice of his officers, headed back to Hampton Roads. Those who were killed and wounded in the short battle are the following;
Killed. Joseph Arnold, Peter Shakely, and John Lawrence.
Wounded. Commodore Barron, Mr. Broom, John Hadden, Cotton Brown, Peter Ellison, John Parker, George Percival, Peter Summers, Wm. Hendrick, W. Macdonald, Francis Conhoven, Thomas Short, Wm. Moody, David Creighton, John Martyr, James Epps, Emanuel Hendrichs, John Wilson, Wm. Warren, and John Bates.

Rifles To A Corps Of Juvenile Volunteers 1814
When the British army, under the command of Sir George Prevost, invaded the United States, 1st of September, 1814, a number of young gentlemen, of Plattsburg and its vicinity, volunteered their services for the defiance of their country. This corps, consisting principally of those who were not yet liable to militia duty, being that these young men were 16,years and younger. They were organized into a company under the command of Captain Martin S. Aikin, and were received into the service of the United States by General Macomb.
This corps was eminently distinguished during the siege of Plattsburg, particularly in the battles of Beekrnantown, and at the crossing of the Saranac. As a reward for their gallant and meritorious conduct, General Macomb gave directions that each of the corps should be presented with a rifle, which direction was sanctioned by the then Secretary of War.
They accompanied General Mooers to Beekmantown, upon the approach of the enemy, and afterwards they were very active in assisting in the defiance of the passage of the Saranac. Their conduct corresponded with the laudable motives which led them to take up arms in defiance of their country. The services they rendered were important, and in consideration thereof they were individually promised that endeavors would be made to obtain from Government a handsome rifle for each. It was found at the end of the war that the rifles were made and ready for delivery, but the deliveries were never made. A number of letters were written to the Secretary of War, in 1822. It was found that General Alexander Macomb, did not have the right or the power to make this promise. The Secretary of War stated that this department was not authorized to dispose of public arms, without legislative provision. In March of 1822, petition was read before the HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES, the Bill would pass in 1826, the young men, now men would receive their rifles.

He passed For White.
State of Maryland, Allegheny County, 1807.
Upton Bruce stated that among the servants belonging to his father (Norman Bruce) is a female slave named Phillis, a dark mulatto; that, at an early age, she became the mother of two children, as was universally admitted, by a white man named Andrew Ware. This fact was never questioned, and Ware himself never, to my knowledge, denied it. The children passed for, and were admitted to be his, and assumed his name; one was a. boy, and being myself older than either of them, and brought up as it were in the same family, nothing like doubt rests upon my mind as to his birth and parentage. I am as well assured of it, as I can be of any fact of the kind, and no one, that I heard, ever presumed to suppose otherwise. This boy was raised upon my father’s farm on Pipe creek, at the mills in Frederick county, and being the child of a slave, was reared with the children of other slaves, and stood upon the same footing.
His mother is still living; she it was that nursed him in his infancy, and she considered, acknowledged, and treated as his mother. When I engaged in the management of my father’s property, which I did. on reaching the years of manhood, this boy was then, about twelve or fourteen years old, and he remained along with the other servants until about the age of twenty, when, in consideration of his color, the regard I had for his father, (then dead,) and the desire expressed by that father to have thee children liberated, this boy was suffered to go at large; he promising to make some compensation, which never has been done. After leaving me, he was working about the country some few years, employed sometimes as wagoner, driving a team to and from Baltimore, until at length I learned he entered on board some vessel and had gone to sea; and this life, I had reason to believe, he persevered in, until, for some time past, hearing nothing of him, I supposed it probable he might be dead.
His appearance may have changed since I last knew him; he then had his growth in height, and was, as neat as I could now guess, about five feet six or seven inches high, of a slender make, a thin foot, and he bent or stood rather back upon his hams; his face somewhat round, a nose not large, lips not thick, and a chin rather small; his color was swarthy or Indian-like, remarkably bright though for a mulatto, and would pass for, something nearer white; his hair was of a darkish color, inclined to curl, which he sometimes kept tied; and which, upon inspection, would show to be different from the hair of a white man, and yet far removed from the wool of an African. He went by the name of Romulus, and is, 1 should imagine, now about the age of twenty-eight or thirty.
*****************************************
It is to be noted that Upton Bruce was trying to find out if Romulus was among the many American seamen being impressed off American ships by the British navy, he had sent this statement to the Foreign Relations Office.
It is believed this is the same man.
William Ware, pressed from on board the brig Neptune, frigate Melarnpus, in the Captain Crafts, by the British Bay of Biscay, and has served on board the said frigate fifteen months. William Ware is a native American, born on Pipe creek, Frederick county, State of Maryland, at Bruce’s Mills, and served his time at said Mills; he also lived at Ellicott’s mills, near Baltimore, and drove a wagon several years between Hagerstown and Baltimore; he also served eighteen months on board the United States frigate Chesapeake, under the command of Commodore Morris and Captain James Barron.; he is an Indian looking man.

Your Lost Ancestor.
I know there are a lot of reason why you researchers can not find that one ancestor, he or she may have remarried or you may not have a date of their deaths, or maybe they had children but you don’t have all their names. This page is to help you solve some of these mysteries. This page will be in two parts, the first will be a list of Heirs and there will be information on all of them in the form of Bills out of Congress. This information could be the name of a child, wife, and service or land. It may also give the State and county where their came from.
The second part will be about the same as the first part, but what is stated is all the information I will have on them, it may not be a lot but it may be important information to you and help you in your hunt for that lost ancestor. I keep saying ( Lost ) but then they may not be and you are just looking for more information on them, either way this page may be a help to you.
Note. If you would like any information on the names from the first part of this page or have any questions at all you can find my address in my profile.

Patrick Green Mail Guard Robbed 1822.
In the year of 1822, Patrick Green was a mail guard for the route of Baltimore to Havre-de-Grace, on July 8, 1822, he was attacked by a group of robbers. His story was printed in the New York Gazette on July 11, 1823, here is that story.
New York Gazette, July 11, 1823.
Daring Robbery of the mail-We yesterday received proof-sheets from the several editors in Baltimore furnishing the particulars of another daring robbery of the mail. Between 1 and 2 o’clock this morning, a most daring robbery of the eastern mail was committed about two miles east of the Great Falls of the Gunpowder. The mail was on it’s way from the east to Baltimore, and at the placed mentioned was arrested in it’s progress by a fence which had been erected across the road. The guard was taken about thirty yards from the carriage, where the ruffian who had first struck him stood over him with a pistol presented to his breast. The villain asked the guard why he had fired at him? To which the latter replied, he was only doing his duty; that he was sworn to protect the mail. Some of the robbers, called out to their comrade to shoot him or they would shoot him, ( the robbers.)
The guard begged earnestly for his life, as they talked of trying him, and kept him in the most anxious suspense as to his fate. At one time the robber held his hand across the eyes of the guard for about five minutes. During the time these events took place ( which the guard supposes was about half an hour, ) the rest of the robbers were engaged in rifling the mail. The robber then directed the guard to sit down at the foot of a tree, and not to stir at the peril of this life. The guard was struck across the head with a pistol, with which one of the ruffians was armed; the blow deprived him for a short time of his senses.
At the spot where the robbery took place, there was a high bank on each side of the road. The guard Patrick Green, acted with much courage and good conduct, having discharged his blunderbuss at the robbers when they first discovered themselves, and afterwards snapped a pistol at one, and discharged the other pistol at another before they came upon him. It appears it was the last shot from the pistol which wounded Moore in the breast, who was armed with a gun.
Patrick Green stated; that at the moment the attack was made by the robbers, the driver of the mail deserted me and fled, so I was left entirely alone to contend with the band. At one time Moor presented a musket to my side, and told me to give up, or he would blow me through. I then fired my pistol, which wounded Moore severely, and the next instant I was struck by a robber by the name of Ebenezer ( who I had shot at ) across the head, which blow me back into the stage and deprived me of my senses.

U. S. Regiments Called By Surnames 1776-1812.
Here is a list of all the names of the regiments I could find, Most all these regiments will have a surnames, others will have either a regiment number or a state name. I will not name any person from these regiments. This page is for those who are looking for a regiment that no one can seem to find. Although there will be no information on these regiments, at lest you will know there was a regiment by that name and what state that maybe some info can be found on it.
What I found interesting while researching this info was that after the Revolutionary War, they stop using surnames for the regiments, by the War of 1812, no regiment was called by a surnames or very few. Then when the Civil War started they started calling the regiments by surnames again and is still going on today. I will have to some research on why they stopped it in 1812.
Important note. Be careful just because I state a regiment from New Your does not mean that regimen was formed in that State it only means that, that person of that State was in that regiment. .
Note. This information come from the United States Pension Rolls, which is housed at the Library of Congress.

What I found interesting while researching this info was that after the Revolutionary War, they stop using surnames for the regiments, by the War of 1812, no regiment was called by a surnames or very few. Then when the Civil War started they started calling the regiments by surnames again and is still going on today. I will have to some research on why they stopped it in 1812.
Important note. Be careful just because I state a regiment from New Your does not mean that regimen was formed in that State it only means that, that person of that State was in that regiment. .
Note. This information come from the United States Pension Rolls, which is housed at the Library of Congress.

Volunteers Company’s of the United States. 1776-1812
I know a lot of you are looking for a company that your ancestor was in or may have been in, so I have recorded a list of volunteer company’s and State volunteers from each State that I could find. Some State will have none, that’s not to say there won’t any, It’s the way they were recorded. Where I got my information from, Some States may list something like ( Rice Reg. ) I will not record this as I don’t know if this a Militia or a U. S., company. I will only record the names that state Volunteers. I hope you will find that company you are looking for on this page, and if your lucky you may find your ancestor on the roster as well.
Note. These rosters were made up from the United States Pension Rolls, which is housed at the Library of Congress.

The Adventures Of William Christy
William Christry was a young man and orphan, who had a want for adventure, at the age of twenty abandoned his study of the law and joined the northwestern army as a volunteer, the army then under the command of General Harrison. William did not belong to any corps, as he did not offer to enlist, but offered his services to be disposed of as the commanding general should think would best advance the interests of the country.
William was assigned to the duties of military storekeeper, which he was very arduous, during and after the siege of Fort Meigs, and were discharged by William with great zeal and fidelity.
William finely enlisted on April 19, 1814, William found his duty’s as a storekeeper not to his liking, and so every moment which he could spare from the care and distribution of the public stores was employed upon the lines. William would often exposed himself to the enemy’s fire from a desire to retaliate upon them with his rifle. William would on the 5th of May have a occasion presented to him to distinguish himself in a manner more to his taste, by a close conflict with the enemy. A sortie having been ordered to dislodge the enemy from their position on the company’s right flank, In the advance William’s company fell in with the mass of the Indian force commanded by Tecumseh.
In the conflict that ensued the company was surrounded by the Indian and was forced to divide itself, one part of the company pursuing the enemy to the front while William who command the other half and faced about and engaged the Indians in the rear. William’s gallant band was soon overpowered, and all but two and William were killed. William who was slightly wounded, and the last two fought their way through the enemy’s line and rejoined the regular troops. William was to distinguished himself afterwards on the same day, under the command of Lieutenant Gwynne, who commanded a company in the 19th regiment, that General Harrison recommended him to the Executive, and he received the appointment of second lieutenant in the army. William would also serve on the lines in the northern part of New York, in arresting the smuggles of goods from Canada during the summer of 1814. William would later go to New Orleans and join the first regiment of United States infantry, to which he was attached under the arrangement for the peace establishment, there he was appointed paymaster of his regiment.
There would be other adventures for William, but that’s another story.

Captain John Hudry & The Company Of Franks. 1814
John Hudry was a very patriotic man and had a strong love for his America. When he heard that the British were on the way to attack New Orleans, he organized a company of men in November of 1814, this company was made up of sixty French veterans and brave Louisiana’s, this croup of men would be known as the Franks. This company was made of proud men but poor men, few among them could provide their own uniforms, late alone any accoutrement, arms, or ammunition. Seeing this John Hudry now captain of the Franks went to the powers of Louisiana for their help but was refused, even though daily advices by the enemy told of a immediate attack on New Orleans, and were now plundering and laying waste to the cities of Chesapeake Bay.
In finding no help in Louisiana, he contracted for the uniforms and equipment from his own fortune. As no arms could be procured in town he got them from Barataria. He then went about gathering as many muskets as he could in New Orleans and in the near by neighborhoods. These muskets were old and many were without rods, bayonets, or locks, he had them refitted at any price, and paid from his fortune. He would support his comrades cheerfully from November to February again from his fortune, he had his company ready in one month to receive General Jackson.
On General Jackson arrival, He led them to that memorable affair of the December 23, were he routed five thousand British veterans with fourteen hundred men on the left
bank of the Mississippi. The general took afterwards his position, and in the evening of the 27th, he ordered the 24-pounder to be brought to the right of his line, which arrived after eight o’clock, amidst rain, frost, and a perfect obscurity. The cannon and materials were unloaded in the mud, but gunner could be found to put it in battery. The aide-de-camp, A. Pavezac, came to captain John Hudry late in the night, he told him that the general was certain to be attacked the next morning. Hudry then went and roused seventeen of his companions, the most of them being professed gunners, and before daylight the battery was ready.
The Next morning, the 28th, eight thousand red-coats appeared before us. They opened a brisk fire from a strong battery which they had established during the same night, with a shower of rockets, but our 24-pounder destroyed their redoubt, and they retreated. The general ordered a 12-pounder to be placed at the left of his line, but all the gunners were with Commodore Patterson on board the ship Louisiana. Therefore he sent to the piece his lieutenant with nine able artillerists. They established the battery, and on the morning of the 1st of January nine thousand British came again to storm our poor mud line, but the Franks leveled their second battery, and they withdrew.
On the 8th of January the enemy attacked everywhere; eleven hundred red-coats advanced along the woods in close columns, but the Franks discovered the general staff on horseback; they pointed a canister, and the whole bunch came to the ground. That army remained without a general, and, after some sharp struggles without command, they retreated, leaving the field covered with dead and wounded. Had not that extraordinary event happened New Orleans would have been a Moscow before noon.
In the following eighteen or nineteen years John Hudry took good care never to mention his services nor his sacrifices for the defense of his country. John Hudry was a true patriot and not a mercenary. But now he has the misfortune to be left with no fortune and is in bad health and old age has over taken him. Therefore it pained him to take his story before the Senators of Congress in the hopes that they would honor him with relief.
When John Hudry give his petition to Congress other men came forward to give evidence on his behalf. One of those was Jon. R. Grymes, who stated he had known John Hudry since 1812. That in 1814, he had raised and equipped a volunteer company for the defense of the country; and had applied to the governor of the State for the necessary arms and equipments; and that he was refused, that he did clothe, arm, and equip them at his own expense. Then on the arrival of the commander-in-chief, they were received into the service of the United States, and during the campaign of 1814 ‘15, he render the most important and signal service in defense of the country. He knew John Hudry to be a man of fortune, but has since become poor and in ill health. He also knew that all articles of equipment were at that period were extremely scarce and bore a most extravagant price.
Andrew Jackson, who was Major General commanding the 7th., Military District, in 1815, Had given a statement about John Hudry that year; He certify that Captain John Hudry, was born in Savoy, and on the eve of invasion, did raise in New Orleans a company of volunteers, called the Compagnie Franche, and was with his company in all the engagements fought with the English, and is entitled to the esteem of all the good citizens of the United States.
In the year of 1821, John Hudry had written a letter I believe to Andrew Jackson, it’s not all important in what was in the letter, but those of the Company Franks who signed it.

In 1833, Gerard C. Brandon of Wilkinson county, Mississippi, give a statement; that he had known Captain Jean Hudry for more than eleven years, and been intimately acquainted with him during the principal part of that period; that he had located himself on Percy’s creek, in this county, about the year 1820, and was a merchant, with a large stock of goods, but from the want of a knowledge of the people amongst whom he settled, and the laws of the country, and confiding too much in unworthy persons, he has been unjustly deprived of his property.
Another man by the name of Jacob Tourne came forward with a statement; that, in the years 1814 and 1815, during the invasion of Louisiana by the British troops, and for two or three months previous thereto, he was a sergeant in the company of Franks, of which John Hudry was captain; that nearly all the members of that company were poor men who were unable to uniform, arm, and equip themselves; that they received neither arms nor accoutrements from the State; that it is within his personal knowledge Captain Hudry furnished clothing for most, if not all his men, and sent to Barataria and procured eighty saber blades, and had them mounted in this city for the use of his company; that he furnished caps and cartridge-boxes and about sixty muskets for his men; that, according to the prices at that time, the saber blades were worth from six to eight dollars each, and that it was worth from four to six dollars to mount them; that the cartridge-boxes were worth four or five dollars each.
He further says that, for a month before the actual invasion, Captain Hudry’s house was the headquarters of his company; that while at the lines Captain Hudry sent his cart almost daily and brought to camp for his men supplies of vegetables and provisions at his own expense; that he must have expended between ten and thirteen thousand dollars upon his company during the invasion; that he was a most vigilant and valuable officer; that he was then rich, but is now poor, old and infirm, about sixty years old.
In 1833, all the evidence had been given and was taken to a Senate committee whereon in the year of 1835 a Bill was printed and taken to the floor of the Senate to be read. On January 21, 1835, Senator Benton, during the reading of the bill, was informed, by one or two gentlemen near him, of the unhappy termination, this morning, of the existence of Captain Hudry, by his own hand. Mr. Benton then rose and said that he was unaware, until that moment, of the melancholy decease of the gallant officer whose claims he had advocated. But he had just been informed by a Senator from Louisiana that Captain Hudry had, in a fit of despair, this morning, put an end to his existence; and the only duty now left him was to advocate the passage of the bill, in order that the heirs or representatives of the deceased might get what he was entitled to.
All the Senators agreed, but also agreed that the Bill would have be amended to read; “pay to the heirs and legal representatives of Captain Hudry.” The Senators also agreed that as a whole new Bill it should go back to committee for a third reading and was agreed to. The Bill wouldn’t see the Senate floor again till June 25, 1860, where it was read and passed on May 8, 1860. By 1860 the only heir left was a Marie Genand.
Although the Bill had passed the Senate it must not of passed the House, for in 1862, it was stated; That the Committee on Military Affairs and the Militia be discharged from the further consideration of the petition of Marie Genand, and that it be referred to the Committee on Claims. I found no record that another Bill came before the Senate or House.
The following is the Bill that passed the Senate.
AN ACT
June 25, 1860.
For the relief of the heirs or legal representatives of Jean Hudry.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, That the Secretary of the Treasury be, and he is hereby, authorized to pay to the heirs or legal representatives of Captain Jean Hudry, of the State of Louisiana, out of any money in the treasury not otherwise appropriated, the sum of nine thousand seven hundred and five dollars, it being the amount of the account of the said Jean Hudry for uniform clothing, arms, and accoutrements furnished by him, in the year eighteen hundred and fourteen, to a company of the Louisiana legion, called the Franks, which company he raised and equipped previous to the invasion, and gallantly led into battle on the night of the twenty-third of December and the morning of the eighth of
January.
Passed the Senate May 8, 1860.
In finding no help in Louisiana, he contracted for the uniforms and equipment from his own fortune. As no arms could be procured in town he got them from Barataria. He then went about gathering as many muskets as he could in New Orleans and in the near by neighborhoods. These muskets were old and many were without rods, bayonets, or locks, he had them refitted at any price, and paid from his fortune. He would support his comrades cheerfully from November to February again from his fortune, he had his company ready in one month to receive General Jackson.
On General Jackson arrival, He led them to that memorable affair of the December 23, were he routed five thousand British veterans with fourteen hundred men on the left
bank of the Mississippi. The general took afterwards his position, and in the evening of the 27th, he ordered the 24-pounder to be brought to the right of his line, which arrived after eight o’clock, amidst rain, frost, and a perfect obscurity. The cannon and materials were unloaded in the mud, but gunner could be found to put it in battery. The aide-de-camp, A. Pavezac, came to captain John Hudry late in the night, he told him that the general was certain to be attacked the next morning. Hudry then went and roused seventeen of his companions, the most of them being professed gunners, and before daylight the battery was ready.
The Next morning, the 28th, eight thousand red-coats appeared before us. They opened a brisk fire from a strong battery which they had established during the same night, with a shower of rockets, but our 24-pounder destroyed their redoubt, and they retreated. The general ordered a 12-pounder to be placed at the left of his line, but all the gunners were with Commodore Patterson on board the ship Louisiana. Therefore he sent to the piece his lieutenant with nine able artillerists. They established the battery, and on the morning of the 1st of January nine thousand British came again to storm our poor mud line, but the Franks leveled their second battery, and they withdrew.
On the 8th of January the enemy attacked everywhere; eleven hundred red-coats advanced along the woods in close columns, but the Franks discovered the general staff on horseback; they pointed a canister, and the whole bunch came to the ground. That army remained without a general, and, after some sharp struggles without command, they retreated, leaving the field covered with dead and wounded. Had not that extraordinary event happened New Orleans would have been a Moscow before noon.
In the following eighteen or nineteen years John Hudry took good care never to mention his services nor his sacrifices for the defense of his country. John Hudry was a true patriot and not a mercenary. But now he has the misfortune to be left with no fortune and is in bad health and old age has over taken him. Therefore it pained him to take his story before the Senators of Congress in the hopes that they would honor him with relief.
When John Hudry give his petition to Congress other men came forward to give evidence on his behalf. One of those was Jon. R. Grymes, who stated he had known John Hudry since 1812. That in 1814, he had raised and equipped a volunteer company for the defense of the country; and had applied to the governor of the State for the necessary arms and equipments; and that he was refused, that he did clothe, arm, and equip them at his own expense. Then on the arrival of the commander-in-chief, they were received into the service of the United States, and during the campaign of 1814 ‘15, he render the most important and signal service in defense of the country. He knew John Hudry to be a man of fortune, but has since become poor and in ill health. He also knew that all articles of equipment were at that period were extremely scarce and bore a most extravagant price.
Andrew Jackson, who was Major General commanding the 7th., Military District, in 1815, Had given a statement about John Hudry that year; He certify that Captain John Hudry, was born in Savoy, and on the eve of invasion, did raise in New Orleans a company of volunteers, called the Compagnie Franche, and was with his company in all the engagements fought with the English, and is entitled to the esteem of all the good citizens of the United States.
In the year of 1821, John Hudry had written a letter I believe to Andrew Jackson, it’s not all important in what was in the letter, but those of the Company Franks who signed it.

In 1833, Gerard C. Brandon of Wilkinson county, Mississippi, give a statement; that he had known Captain Jean Hudry for more than eleven years, and been intimately acquainted with him during the principal part of that period; that he had located himself on Percy’s creek, in this county, about the year 1820, and was a merchant, with a large stock of goods, but from the want of a knowledge of the people amongst whom he settled, and the laws of the country, and confiding too much in unworthy persons, he has been unjustly deprived of his property.
Another man by the name of Jacob Tourne came forward with a statement; that, in the years 1814 and 1815, during the invasion of Louisiana by the British troops, and for two or three months previous thereto, he was a sergeant in the company of Franks, of which John Hudry was captain; that nearly all the members of that company were poor men who were unable to uniform, arm, and equip themselves; that they received neither arms nor accoutrements from the State; that it is within his personal knowledge Captain Hudry furnished clothing for most, if not all his men, and sent to Barataria and procured eighty saber blades, and had them mounted in this city for the use of his company; that he furnished caps and cartridge-boxes and about sixty muskets for his men; that, according to the prices at that time, the saber blades were worth from six to eight dollars each, and that it was worth from four to six dollars to mount them; that the cartridge-boxes were worth four or five dollars each.
He further says that, for a month before the actual invasion, Captain Hudry’s house was the headquarters of his company; that while at the lines Captain Hudry sent his cart almost daily and brought to camp for his men supplies of vegetables and provisions at his own expense; that he must have expended between ten and thirteen thousand dollars upon his company during the invasion; that he was a most vigilant and valuable officer; that he was then rich, but is now poor, old and infirm, about sixty years old.

Army Register Death List-1833-1838.
In my last page on the Army Register death list, I stated that I would record all the names, but I found there were just too many names to put on one page. This will be page two, This page will cover the years of 1833-1838, which is as far as my Registers go. Although I will not cover as many years as the first page, then will be a lot more names, because of the Indians Wars and so on. Again this will be military information only.
Note. This information comes from Military Affairs which is housed at the Library of Congress.
Important note. I have found that I will not have enough room on this page for all the information for the names for the years of 1837 & 1838, I will list all the names but will only give their date of death, and place of death, or station. If you find a ancestor in the last two years lists and would like their military information, you can write to me. My address can be found in my profile.
