I stumbled on this. Is this anyone's kin? "I, Jean, Seavant, Doctor of Physick, who was born at Saulieu, in the Province of Bourgogune, in France, who for some yeas past have lived at Cape Francis in the West Indies, and was lately taken by the English Privateer in the ship Marques Tourne, Captain Peter Lizigojen, command, and brought to New York, being now here in the Province of New York a prisoner and very sick.... Found on Google Books abstracts of wills recorded in New York to 1754 (Collections of the New York Historical Society 1895). P75 for Cranston & Moore of Jamaica, 103 for Sinya de Tores, Jamiaca (he says he is Jewish), p129 for Copland and p442 for Quackinbush. Also, Susanah Tull of Jamaica (352), who mentions John Joyce and Dr. Wm Webb of Jamaica. And Lewis Rou of Curacoa p.327. And Gomez in Jamaica, p311. Hope this helps someone connect. Laura
