Names of Soldier & Sailors Family's Of 1776-1797
This page is about the family's the soldiers and sailors left behind. Many family's were very poor at this time in history and relied on their husbands and sons or another members of the family's for support, as there was a war on many husbands and sons left to fight as they felt it was their duty, many would never return. This left mothers and wife's with no means of surpport for thier family, some would turn to other family's for surpport but as many were poor this woud be little. Although Congress had passed a pension law it would be many year later before many know of it, as the news was slow. The pension laws were hard and the proof the family's needed that stated that a family member was in the services was hard to get, and even if they did get it many would not get a pension. At this time the pension laws stated that a soldier or sailor had to died in battle or died of a wound from a battle. Those who died of sickness because of the hardships of war or were killed on leave or for other reason would not receive no pension. Although the law would be changed and made it easier for the family's to get a pension it wasn't a help for those in need now. The names here are of family's looking for surpport or some kind of relief from the Government.

Ships Of The World In War-1792-1815
This is about ships of the world in peace time and war all these ships had seaman impressed from them. As there will be a lot of ships names I will only post the ships name here however the information that can be provided is Masters or Captains name, where the vessel was from, The name of the vessel they were stopped by, and the nation that the vessel belong to. Some times the name of the owners and sometimes added information. If you need any information just write to me at: dsegelquist1@cox.net
American side.
When ever they found a British native, a seaman who had been born in Britain regardless of what he claimed to be (e.g. American), he was forced (impressed) into the British Navy. The American government protested this practice and issued Protection Certificates, but these were largely ignored. Some documentation of this practice may be found in the American State Papers.
British side.
The Jay Treaty of 1794 had attempted to clear up some of the lingering problems of American separation from Great Britain. However it made no mention of the impressment of American sailors. During the Noapoleonic Wars the Royal Navy aggressively reclaimed British deserters on board ships of other nations, both by halting and searching merchant ships, and in many cases, by searching American port cities. The Royal Navy did not recognize naturalized Amercian citizenship, treating anyone born a British subject as "British" — as a result, the Royal Navy impressed over 6,000 sailors during the early 1800s who were claimed as American citizens as well as British subjects. This was one of several factors leading to the War of 1812 in North America. Ironically, the Royal Navy largely ceased to use impressment after the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, though it remained legal to conduct.
Note. Here are three examples of the information you may receive.
1. On Aug. 2, 1796, the schooner Ann from Jeremic, under master E. D. Browm was stopped by the British ship Argonaut under the command of Ball, at Iris Bay, Hispaniola.
2. On Jan. 23, 1797, a protest was mad in be half of the ship Independence of New London under the master of Ichabod Goodrich for being stopped and boarded by the British ship of war Ceres on Jan. 22, 1797.
3. On April 2, 1806 it was recorded that the ship Echo from New York, N. Y., under the master of John Peck was stopped at Yarmounth roads by the war ship Elephant even though they had evidence of citizen ship, and protection from the custom house of Norfolk No. 300.
Important note. As this is about the ships I have left off the names of those impressed seamen. For those of you who are just looking for a seamen name you may ask at the above address.

American side.
When ever they found a British native, a seaman who had been born in Britain regardless of what he claimed to be (e.g. American), he was forced (impressed) into the British Navy. The American government protested this practice and issued Protection Certificates, but these were largely ignored. Some documentation of this practice may be found in the American State Papers.
British side.
The Jay Treaty of 1794 had attempted to clear up some of the lingering problems of American separation from Great Britain. However it made no mention of the impressment of American sailors. During the Noapoleonic Wars the Royal Navy aggressively reclaimed British deserters on board ships of other nations, both by halting and searching merchant ships, and in many cases, by searching American port cities. The Royal Navy did not recognize naturalized Amercian citizenship, treating anyone born a British subject as "British" — as a result, the Royal Navy impressed over 6,000 sailors during the early 1800s who were claimed as American citizens as well as British subjects. This was one of several factors leading to the War of 1812 in North America. Ironically, the Royal Navy largely ceased to use impressment after the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815, though it remained legal to conduct.
Note. Here are three examples of the information you may receive.
1. On Aug. 2, 1796, the schooner Ann from Jeremic, under master E. D. Browm was stopped by the British ship Argonaut under the command of Ball, at Iris Bay, Hispaniola.
2. On Jan. 23, 1797, a protest was mad in be half of the ship Independence of New London under the master of Ichabod Goodrich for being stopped and boarded by the British ship of war Ceres on Jan. 22, 1797.
3. On April 2, 1806 it was recorded that the ship Echo from New York, N. Y., under the master of John Peck was stopped at Yarmounth roads by the war ship Elephant even though they had evidence of citizen ship, and protection from the custom house of Norfolk No. 300.
Important note. As this is about the ships I have left off the names of those impressed seamen. For those of you who are just looking for a seamen name you may ask at the above address.

Many American ships were taken as prizes and the cargo sold and the ships resold or taken out to sea and sunk, only to fine out later they had legal registries.

Ships Of The Slave Trade 1857-1858 Page1.
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.
