    1. schooner R.R. Freeman
    2. David Kew
    3. Seth H. Baker jr (13 Oct 1833, single) and brothers Henry D Smith (age 30-0-18, married) and Benjamin F Smith (age 28-2-19, single) all of Wellfleet were lost with all on board the schooner R. R. Freeman, in Vineyard Sound, on the night of the seventh of February, 1861. These facts are from 1861 Wellfleet death records and from "Sweet Rosemary and Forget-Me-Nots," a book of poems by Seth's aunt, Betsey (Baker) Libby, published as a memorial to her in 1898. Presumably Wellfleet's Richard Rich Freeman was a part owner. Does anyone have more information on the ship and other crew?
