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.

The Capture Of Merchant Ships 1803-1807

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.

Note. This information come from Volume 2., 1807-15, of the Foreign Relations, on reports given by Insurance Companys which is housed at the Library of Congress.

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.

1. Ship Belisarius, Holmes, from New York to Bordeaux.
Insured for J. P. Longchamp, 12th June, 1805.
This vessel was captured by the British, and carried into England; the property detained for further proof. This vessel and part of the cargo belongs to’ General Stevens, nor is there a doubt (so far as I can learn) but that the property is all American.

for his own account. Captured by a French privateer on 13th July, 1804. 1805.
Protest sent to the Secretary of State’s office, 5th July, 1805.

7. Brig Joseph, Winship.
Insured for A. Kirkpatrick 23d April, 1805, from St. Pierre’s, Martinique, to New York.

The Mary was captured on the 26th April, by His Britannic Majesty’s ship Ostry. Captain Clinch, and carried to Antigua. The vessel is dismissed, but the cargo detained for proof, on suspicion of being French property. The costs in the island of Antigua are shamefully enormous.

9. Ship John, Patterson.
Insured for Francis Phillippon, 4th March, 1805, from New Orleans to Bordeaux. This cargo consisted of two hundred and fifty boxes Havana sugar. The sugar the property of a Mr. Francis Phillippon, resident at New Orleans, and, like Mr. Lauresse’s property, is reserved for further proof.

This vessel was captured by the British brig Busy, Captain Byam, on the 18th September last, about fifty miles from Sandy Hook light-house, sent to Halifax, the cargo detained for further proof.
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.

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.
