It’s interesting to learn the fate of the Fowey, which captured one of George Washington’s schooners in 1775, the Washington. My fourth great-grandfather was among the crew and was transferred from the Fowey to the Tartar for imprisonment in England. He returned to America in 1783. A good reference is George Washington’s Schooners: The First American Navy, by Chester G. Hearn.
I was unaware of that incident and book, so thanks for the reference. But mostly, thanks for your 4-gen G-Grandfather’s service. I see courage and patriotism runs in your family...
