This page is about slave ships and their human cargo, this information is not only for the African Americans, but any one with genealogy interest may benefit from the researched information. My hope is to enlighten you on the slave trade and in turn offer valuable date for the family researcher.
Most generally the researcher knows the name of the ship that their ancestors was on, and if it was captured, but in most cases are not aware of "who captured that particular vessel." The below information that I've amassed and provided for you....less the African American Surnames.....will be in "parts." This first page actually has "two parts".....first part: List of Ships Captured off Cuba. Second part: List of Ships Captured by the British off Cuba. Then I've devoted the remaining page to the actual "Slave ships and the men aboard them." I wish to make clear, I have no information on any individuals once they de-boarded their vessel.
Note. This information comes from the 36th. Congress, House Document No. 7.

Horatio.
In October of 1854, the " Horatio" left New York without any papers and without being looked over by the surveyor.

Then in November of 1854, the " Horatio" was reported to be clearing for the coast of Africa. In May 1855, the " Horatio" was found at sea abandoned within sight of Key West Lighthouse,it is on suspicion that she had engaged in landing a cargo of slaves on the coast of Cuba. When found abandoned the name on her stern had been painted over with black paint but still could be read; " Horatio" of New York. There was no doubt that she had been fitted for slave trade. There was a old log book that stated; " Horaito" lay in Ponce, Porto Rico, May 23, 1854.
Note. The following information was taken from reports from the Brazilians & United States Districts.
On August 25, 1855, a schooner of 120 tons owned by ( Vincent D. Cranotick ) with the name of ( Mary E.

She was captured as a prize to the Brazilian Brig-of- war " Olinda" at the time of her capture she had 370 slave on board. She was captured at the port of St. Mattheos, and taken to Bahia. The mortality of the slaves on board has been dreadful and the survivors are represented as little more then moving skelotons.

Miller sailed from Havana Cuba in 1857, and headed for Montevideo, soon after leaving port it was found that eight or nine Spaniards were on board,there was also a man by the name of Manuel Abarroa who was on the ships papers as a seamen, was a master, he and another of the Spaniards who acted as a mate had the control of said ship till in the neighborhood of a man-of-war, then Captain Richard Ford a American, master, acted as commander and Abarroa acted as a common sailor, they head for the coast of Africa. On the voyage and on the coast they were visited by several British man-of- wars and constantly used the American flag and papers till the slaves were on board after which no flag was hoisted. After leaving the coast with 470 slaves for Cuba, Abarroa the Spanish Captain died, from that time on the Spanish mate and Captain Ford took over the vessel. After 31 days arrived at Sagua La Grande here the slaves were landed by schooner, after which the William D. Miller was taken out sea and scuttled and sunk.
George Williams and Edmund Bennett who were on board the " Miller " are now in jail in Havana and are waiting for a steamer to take them to New Orleans for trail. On board the " Miller " were two other Americans Thomas Cook and Thomas Bennett. The men were to proceed to New Orleans on the schooner M. A.

When the Paez was captureded she had 383 slaves on board, of which several have died of smallpox. The Paez formealy of Philadelphia was used to trade with Venezuela, but it appears that she had been sold and a new register was given to her in New York on Marh 20, 1857, in the name of Frances M. Chase, a women residing in New York. The captain George W. Palmer a native of Stanford Connecticut, age about 35, years. Palmer stated that he and crew have the reason to be dissatisfied with the Spaniard who as he alleges deprived him of his command, and that he had nothing to do with the takeing of negroes on board. The Paez was to be destroyed by law but because the absence of evidence she wil not be, till more evidence is to be had, if found that said Palmer acted of his own free will the Paez will be destroyed, if however it is found he had not acted on his own free will the Paez will be returned to his command.

Interesting fact: In 1776 our Navy consisted of 90 officers and 3,000 enlisted personnel with only a few jobs above the ordinary seaman level. These included Boatswain's Mate, Quartermaster, Gunner's Mate, Master-at-Arms, Cook, Armorer, Sailmaker's Mate, Cooper, Cockswain, Carpenter's Yeoman, and Yeoman of the Gun Room. The Navy is smaller than a single Carrier in 2004.

Note. Although I call them ships many were Frigate's & Sloop's.
Interesting fact: This frigate, meaning a medium size warship capable of sustained independent operation and powerful enough to take on any warship other than a ship of the line, seems to have had its English origin in a captured French privateer (a licensed, private man of war) named Tygre, which was captured in 1747 and commissioned in the Royal Navy. She carried twenty-six 9-pounder long guns on a single covered deck, and soon was seen to be a most useful addition.
Interesting fact: The naval term "sloop" referred to ships with different rigs and sizes varying from navy to navy.

Note. Although I call them ships many were Frigate's & Sloop's.
Interesting fact: This frigate, meaning a medium size warship capable of sustained independent operation and powerful enough to take on any warship other than a ship of the line, seems to have had its English origin in a captured French privateer (a licensed, private man of war) named Tygre, which was captured in 1747 and commissioned in the Royal Navy. She carried twenty-six 9-pounder long guns on a single covered deck, and soon was seen to be a most useful addition.
Interesting fact: The naval term "sloop" referred to ships with different rigs and sizes varying from navy to navy.

The Express Riders of 1776-1851.
The express rider was a important part of the army they took intelligence reports to other commanders and to Congress and to the Congressmen and Senators. One can see way George Washington was concern when Congress was thinking of doing away with the express man and only use the Post, the express man had to be of good character not only because of the intelligence they carried but the vast amount of money they carried as will as much as $150,000 dollars at a time. The express rider was accountable for all that he carried until it reached the hands it was intended for so if it was lost or stolen he had to make it good.
Note. Although there is no family info here it was important to place these names here to help family's find other family members and to let them know what they were doing at this time in History. If you would like to add any information to the names or have any questions you may at the following address dsegelquist1@cox.net
The Express Rider.
In 1779 there was a act in Congress to the discharging of all express riders in the pay of the United States, as they were in constant pay at the public expence and would be a grate measur to save the expence to the private expresses. George Washington would not admit to a general discharge of the express rider till he got directions from Congress. Washington felt that circumstances frequently arise that demmand an instant communication. He explained that to place intirely out of the tract of the post, nor dose it appear to him that it would answer to rely on getting of occasional expresses at the moment they are wanted, both on account of the delay that would often happen and the risk of employing improper characters. He went on, If one half of the present expresses were dismissed I should think this would be carring the experiment as far as would be safe and whether to extended any farther. As a result of Washington concers, On January 14, 1779 Congress made this statement. "That the Commander in Chief be authorised to order so many expresses to be retained in the public service as he may judge necessary for the immediate purposes of the army," and subsequently left the supervision of the express service to Washington and the Board of War. Nevertheless, its intervention at this time resulted in the striking reduction in the number of expresses from 112 to 17, and the unauthorized use of them by staff and civilian officers significantly diminished."
