This is a short story but worth mentioning it is a short story of Abigail O’Flyng and her husband and her three sons who fought honorably in the war of 1812, and I thought I would put down their story less they be forgotten.
------------------------------
Abigail O’Flyng is the wife of Patrick O’Flyng, of the town of Batavia, in the State of New York, and during the late war Patrick O’Flyng, and three of his sons, Patrick, Temple E., and Edmund O ‘Flyng, as soldiers in the army of the enlisted United States. Patrick O’Flyng continued in the service until the 28th of June, 1815, and was then honorably discharged. Edmund O’Flyng, the youngest son, on account, of his distinguished good conduct and bravery, was discharged from the service, and obtained a cadet’s appointment in the Military Academy at West Point; Patrick O’Flyng, on account of his brave and meritorious conduct, was promoted to the appointment of a lieutenancy, and Temple E. O’Flyng to that of ensign.
Patrick led the for1orn of the first brigade, under the command of General Miller, in the sortie at Fort Erie; and of the twenty-four men whom he commanded, twenty were killed or wounded. Since the termination of the war he has died, without wife or child. Temple E. O’Flyng, on that memorable occasion, equally distinguished himself: he received a wound, of which he died the next day, leaving no wife or child.
Abigail O’Flyng in 1816, give this testimony in a petition to Congress stating that she had petition the War Department for bounty land which they did not received. In her petition she states that her husband Patrick, is old and infirm, and unable to attend to his business, and that she made a application to the War Department for the bounty land her husband and sons, and received the following answer; Patrick O’Flyng, being above forty-five, and her youngest son, Edmund, being under eighteen, at the time of his enlistment, the act of Congress does not authorize the Department to issue warrants for the land; and that, in consequence of the promotion of her other two sons, Patrick and Temple, to appointments in the army, they are not entitled to their bounty lands.
The committee looked over the petition and stated that the construction of the law was correct; Whoever the committee also felt that as her husband and sons had fought honorably for country and family, that they should receive the bounty land, and order a bill to be printed and sent to Congress.
Here is the Bill that went to Congress and passed.
CHAP. LXXII.—.An . Act, for the relief of Patrick O’Flyng, and .6’bzgail O’Plyng
and Edmund O’Flyng.
Be it enacted, &c., That the proper officer of the department of war be, and he is hereby authorized and directed to allow and grant to Patrick and Abigail O’Flyng, a land warrant for four hundred and eighty acres of land, in the same manner and upon the same terms that warrants for military land bounty are granted to the soldiers of the army of the United States.
SEC. 2. And be it further enacted, That the officer aforesaid be, and he is hereby authorized and directed to allow and grant to Edmund O’Flyng a military land warrant for one hundred and sixty acres of land, in the same manner and upon the same terms that warrants are granted to the soldiers of the aforesaid army.

The Men Of Lewis & Clarke's Expedition.
When I worked off Roots Web, I saw a few post asking for information on the Lewis and Clarke’s expedition to the ocean, they heard family stories that they had a ancestor on that expedition and was trying to find out if the stories were true. I had a list of he men in one of my index’s but when I looked for it , it couldn’t be found. Then the other day I ran across it and thought it was high time I did something with it, I know there is a new generation looking into this expedition. I hope this list of names will put some of those family stories to rest, or maybe add more life to them.
Note. This list was made by MERIWETHER LEWIS.
I take the liberty of proposing, for the consideration of the committee, a grant to each non-commissioned officer and private, of 320 acres of land; to Lieut. Clarke, of 1000; and to Captain Lewis. of 1,500; with the addition of double pay to each, while engaged in the enterprise; and that each one should have permission to locate his grant on any lands that have been surveyed, and are now for sale by the United States.
H. DEARBORN.
CITY OF WASHINGTON, January 15, 1807.
Herewith enclosed I transmit you the roll of the men who accompanied me on my late tour to the Pacific Ocean, through the interior of the continent of North America. In addition to the men whose names are entered on this roll, there are two others who have some claims to a gratuity, as connected with the expedition; but as I cannot consider them, in all respects, as of the permanent party, 1 have thought their pretensions more properly the subjects of this detached communication, than of the roll which accompanies it.
MERIWETHER LEWIS.
Richard Warfington was a corporal in the infantry of the United States’ army, whom I had occasion ‘to take with me on my voyage as far as the Mandan nation. His term of service expired on. the 4th of August, 1804, nearly three months previous to my arrival at that place. Knowing that it would become necessary for me. to send back my boat in the spring of 1805, with a party of soldiers, whose terms of service had not expired; that it was of some importance that the Government should receive, in safety, the dispatches which I was about to transmit from thence; that there was not one of the party, destined to be returned from thence, in whom I could place the least confidence, except himself; and that, if he was discharged at the moment of the expiration of his term of service, he would necessarily Jose his military standing, and, thereby lessen the efficiency of his command among the soldiery.
I was induced, under these considerations, to make am arrangement with him, by which it was agreed between us, that he should no receive his discharge from the military service until his return to St. Louis, and that he should, in the interim, retain his rank, and receive only for his services the accustomed compensation. Accordingly, he remained with me during the winter, and was, the next spring, in conformity to my plan, placed in command of the boat, and charged with my dispatches-to the Government. The duties assigned him, on this occasion, were performed with a punctuality which uniformly marked his conduct while under my command. taking into view the cheerfulness with which he continued in the service after every obligation had ceased to exist from his enlistment; the fatigues, labor, and dangers, incident to that service; and, above all, the fidelity with which he discharged his duty; it would seem, that when rewards were about to be distributed among those of the party who were engaged in this enterprise, that his claim to something more than his pay of seven dollars per mouth, as corporal, cannot be considered unreasonable.
John Newman was a private in the infantry of the United States army, who joined me as a volunteer, and entered into an enlistment, in common with others, by which he was held and mustered as one of the permanent party. In the course of the expedition, or shortly before we arrived at the Mandan village, be committed himself by using certain mutinous expressions, which caused me to arrest him, and to have him tried by a court martial, formed of his peers: they, finding him guilty, sentenced him to receive seventy-five lashes and to be discharged from the permanent party. This sentence was confirmed by me, and the punishment took place. The conduct of this man, previous to this period, had been generally correct; and the zeal he afterwards displayed for the benefit of the service, was highly meritorious. In the course of the winter, while at Fort Mandan, from an ardent wish to atone for the crime which he had committed at an unguarded moment, he exerted himself, on every occasion, to become useful.
This disposition induced him to expose himself too much to the intense cold of that climate, and on a hunting excursion, he had his hands and feet severely frozen, with which he suffered extreme pain, for some weeks. Having recovered from this accident by the 1st of April, 1805, he asked forgiveness for what had passes and begged that I would permit him to continue with me through the voyage; hut deeming it impolitic to relax the sentence, although he stood acquitted in my mind, I determined to send him back, which was accordingly done. Since my return I have been informed that he was extremely serviceable as a hunter, on the voyage to St. Louis, and that the boat, on several occasions, owed her safety, in a great measure, to his personal exertions, being a man of Uncommon activity and bodily strength. If, under these circumstances, it should be thought proper to give Newman the remaining third which vi1l be deducted from the gratuity awarded Baptiste Le Page, who occupied his station in the after part of the voyage, 1 should feel myself much gratified.
I have the honor to be, with due consideration, and much respect, your obedient servant.

2. Nathaniel Pryor, Sergeant.
3. Charles Floyd, Sergeant, Deceased the 20th of August, 18O4. A young man of much merit. His father, who now resides in Kentucky, is a man much respected, though possessed of but moderate wealth. As the son has lost his life whilst on this service, I consider his father entitled to some gratuity, in consideration of his loss; and also, that the deceased being noticed in this way, will be a tribute but justly due to his merit.

17. Hugh M’Neal, Private.
18. John Sheilds, Private, Has received the pay only of a private.

He performed the tour to the Pacific Ocean, and retuned to St. Louis, where he was discharged, in common with others. on the 10th of November last. As he did not perform the labors incident to the summer of 1804, it would be proper to give him the gratuity only of two-thirds as much as is given to others of his rank.

He has served the complete term of whole tour, and received only 25 dollars per mouth, and one ration per day while I am informed that it is not unusual for individuals, in similar employment to receive 30 dollars per month.
29. Nouisant Carbono, Interpreter, A man of no peculiar merit; was useful as on interpreter only, in which capacity he discharged his duties with good faith, from the moment of our departure from the Mandans, on the 7th of April, 1805, until one return to that place in August last, and received a compensation, 25 dollars per month, while in service.

Privaateers Of The Civil War.
When I started to do some pages on the Privateers I was thinking of the privateers of old, those years of 1776 and 1812, I had not thought of them being in the Civil War. But I surprised to find how wrong I was, I found that not only was the Civil War fought in the continental United States but found this war was fought in other foreign lands as will, we would follow the enemy where ever they went, even to the open sea.
Note. Some of this names may be a repeat as I couldn’t remember them all. There will be some added information on some of these names, so if you see a names and would like to know if there is more my address can be found in my profile, be glad to hear from one and all.

Interesting Note. Freebooter is a term which was in common use in the English language at no very remote period; it is of rare use not, because the freebooter makes his appearance but rarely in modern times, thanks to the more regular and efficient governments and to the more advanced state of the law of war. From the freebooter at sea arose the privateer, for the privateer is a commissioned freebooter, or the freebooter taken into the service of the government by the letter of marque. The se-gueux, in the revolution of the Netherlands, were originally freebooters at sea, and they were always treated when captured simply as freebooters. Wherever the freebooter is taken, at sea or on land, death is inflicted upon him now as in former times, for freebooters are nothing less than armed robbers of the most dangerous and criminal type, banded together for the purposes of booty and of common protection.

NEW YORK, January 30, 1862.
Honorable W. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
DEAR SIR: I was mate of the brig Joseph and was captured by the privateer Savannah; was carried into Georgetown [S. C.] where I was a prisoner three months. When I was sent North on my way to Richmond all of my clothes were stolen. On account of my long confinement South when I got to Philadelphia I had to go into the hospital where I had to remain one month, when I started for this place, destitute, on my way home, when I was arrested by the U. S. marshal as a witness to appear against the officers and crew of the Savannah. They had their trial and the jury did not agree. Was put into the house of detention where I have been 108 days, and to-day I have been discharged without money and clothes. When I called upon the U. S. marshal and U. S. district attorney for my witness fees they said they had no money to pay me. I wanted them to give me a written order of detention so that I could use it as money. I thankfully appeal to you in my destitution, &c.
Yours, respectfully,
HORACE W. BRIDGES,
Late Mate of Brig Joseph.

Honorable W. H. SEWARD, Secretary of State, Washington, D. C.
DEAR SIR: I was mate of the brig Joseph and was captured by the privateer Savannah; was carried into Georgetown [S. C.] where I was a prisoner three months. When I was sent North on my way to Richmond all of my clothes were stolen. On account of my long confinement South when I got to Philadelphia I had to go into the hospital where I had to remain one month, when I started for this place, destitute, on my way home, when I was arrested by the U. S. marshal as a witness to appear against the officers and crew of the Savannah. They had their trial and the jury did not agree. Was put into the house of detention where I have been 108 days, and to-day I have been discharged without money and clothes. When I called upon the U. S. marshal and U. S. district attorney for my witness fees they said they had no money to pay me. I wanted them to give me a written order of detention so that I could use it as money. I thankfully appeal to you in my destitution, &c.
Yours, respectfully,
HORACE W. BRIDGES,
Late Mate of Brig Joseph.

Battle of The Privateer Ship General Armstrong 1814.
The privateer was a merchant ship or any private ship that armed itself to protect it’s goods and vessel from a known or unknown enemy. In the beginning the private ship were not allowed to arm themselves, even after the Americans claimed their independence from England, private ship were warn not to arm themselves. The new Government felt it would not look good to have all it’s private ships armed and going into foreign ports armed to the teeth, it may give them the idea that we were a nation of war and not of piece. However when the revolution started it was soon found by the new government that their navy was not a match for any foreign power. New ships were ordered to be built but that would take time and the cost of outfitting a war ship was high.
The new navy was small so small that there was hardly enough ships to patrol it’s shores let along fight in sea battles. The men of the new Congress were men of vision and knew if something wasn’t done soon they wouldn’t be a free nation for long. The men of Congress knew that this new American was to be ran by the people and not government and if they wanted to stay free they would have to fight. A call went out that all citizens to arm themselves and fight. Many of the men in the government were owners or part owners of the many merchant ships on the seas. Now these men were smart they knew that there were thousands of private ships on the open seas, and if they could be armed the government would have a ready made navy. The new Congress passed a law that allowed the merchant and all private ships to arm themselves. The new law stated that a prize and bounty would be given to any ship that captured a ship of a unfriendly power.
This new law brought about the professional privateer one who’s only job was that of war it would hunt for any foreign ship and take it if it could, as there was money to be made in this war and they were going after it. But it was the little company’s of the merchant ships that just wanted a way to protect its goods and ship from attack, they weren’t looking for a fight but if one came the could run and fight and if need be hold fast and fight to the last. The story below is about the General Armstrong a ship that fought to the last.
Note. This story was put together from reports sent to Congress, there were many more accounts on this battle in the reports given to Congress for you researchers that would like to read more about. At the bottom of the story there will be a list of those killed or wounded from the Armstrong.
Captain Samuel C. Reid, in the private armed brig the General Armstrong, of seven guns and ninety man, left the port of New York on a cruise, early in September, 1814; on the 6th of the same month they came to anchor in the port of Faya1, one of the Azores or Western Islands, belonging to the crown of Portugal; in the evening of the same day, a British squadron, consisting of the Plantagenet of seventy-four, the Rota of forty-four, and the Carnation of eighteen guns, under the command of Captain Lloyd, anchored in the same port. During the night which was entirely clear, the moon near or at the full, and shining brightly, which enabled the Americans to examine accurately, and observe distinctly the movements of the enemy, four boats full of armed men were observed to be approaching the Armstrong, from the smallest of the vessels which lay near.
Captain Reid hailed them repeatedly to know what were their views; no answer being returned, and the boats continuing to approach, orders were given to fire upon them, which were instantly obeyed with destructive effect, and after a short contest the boats retreated to their ships. It was soon discovered that the enemy were making preparations to renew the attack, which was commenced about midnight, with twelve or fourteen boats, containing, as was supposed, about four hundred men completely armed and prepared. After a most obstinate, and, on the part of the enemy bloody! contest, which lasted about forty minutes, they were entirely frustrated in their attempts to carry the brig, and again retreated to their Ships. In this second contest several of the enemy’s boats were destroyed, and two of them taken possession of by the crew of the Armstrong, literally filled with dead. After the second retreat of the enemy, the greatest exertions were used by the Americans to prepare their vessel for action in case of another attack.
About this time, Captain Reid received a note from Mr. Dabney, the American consul, requesting to see him on shore; when he repaired thither, the consul informed him that the Portuguese Governor had addressed a note to the commander of the British squadron, protesting against his violating the neutrality of the port, and requiring him to cease from further outrace on those whom it was his duty to protect. To this note Captain Lloyd returned a menacing reply; that he would take the Armstrong at every hazard, and if she was injured by her crew, he would consider the place as an enemy’s port, and treat it accordingly.
During the last action with the boats, the Armstrong lay within pistol-shot of the castle. Captain Reid then returned on board his vessel, and about day-break a cannonade was commenced from one of the enemy’s vessels on the Armstrong. Thus situated, finding the enemy determined to persevere in their outrage, and from the immense superiority their force, knowing it would be impossible to save his vessel, Captain Reid having due regard for the safety his comrades who had so nobly supported him, determined to scuttle her and leave her; this he did, when she was immediately set on fire by the enemy and destroyed. In these several contests, from good information, there is reason to believe the loss of the enemy, at a moderate calculation, amounted at least to two hundred and fifty men in killed and wounded; that of the Americans was two killed and seven wounded.
It was found that this British squadron was on its way to the West Indies to join the force destined to make an attack on New Orleans; that in consequence of the injury which They sustained, their junction was so much retarded, and the expedition so much delayed, that the, Americans had time to prepare for the defense of that place, which, but for this circumstance, could probably not have been effected.
Those killed and wounded were;
1. Alexander 0. Williams, second lieutenant, Killed by a musket ball in the forehead, died instantly.
2. Burton Lloyd a seaman, killed by a shot through the heart, died instantly.
3. Frederick A. Worth, first lieutenant, wounded in the right side.
4. Robert Johnson, third Lieutenant , wounded in the left knee.
5. Basifla Hammond, quartermaster, wounded in left arm.
6. John Piner, seaman, wounded in the knee.
7. William Castle, wounded in the arm.
8. Nicholas Scalsan, wounded in the arm and leg.

Slave Privateers 1814.
In June of 1814, a British privateer ship by the name of Dash was captured by the American schooner Midas a privateer it’s Captain was a Alexander Thompson, who took the ship to Savannah Georgia, as a prize and was hoping for a bounty on the ship an crew which was made up of slaves and freemen of color. The Dash crew was made up of twenty-two salves and nineteen freemen, Captain Thompson was given a receipt for the ship and the freeman but was refused the bounty for the slaves.
There was a American law that stated that the crew officers and owners of a privateer would be paid one hundred dollars per prisoners, and those prisoners that were combatants would be held as prisoners of war and t be exchanged for man of the same rank being held by other foreign powers as prisoners of war, and those found to be non-combatants would be liberated. But there was a small lop hole in the law that stated that all men of rank were combatants and no bounty could be paid on prisoners of war. It was true that the bounty on the slaves was to be paid, but then it was found that the twenty-two slaves held some kind of rank, and as such were classified as combatants and would be held as prisoners of war.
Captain Alexander Thompson put in a petition into Congress asking for the bounty for the slaves. It was found that the slaves were offered to the British for exchanged, but at the wars end it was found that a lot of the slaves were still being held by the marshal of Georgia. In the end Captain Thompson would be paid his bounty, as for what ever happen to the slaves this author never found out. It may be found some were sent back to England, while others may have been sold to someone in Georgia?

Privateers 1776-1835.
I had this list of Privateers and widow’s of privateers for years, but never done any thing with them, for one the lists are long and not a lot of information. At lest that’s what I thought for a long time. Then as I got more into researching I found that those who are looking for their ancestors will be happy with any information that states their ancestors name and maybe lead them in a new direction to found more information on them. I got to looking at the lists and found even though the information on each name is only one line, there is a lot of good information here. First there is his or her name which tells you that your family stories are true he was a Privateer, second it gives his rank which tells you what he did on ship, third it gives the date when his or her pension started and fourth how much his or her pension was. All this is important information to have to help you fill in some of those gapes in your ancestors story.
Note. This information comes Naval Affairs Vol. 4., 1831-36/ p. 819-25., which is housed at the Library of Congress.
Note. On the Privateer list there will be 301, names on the Widows list 135 names for a total of 436 names.
