Hello Michael,   I think Peter has nailed it for you as a Baltic port. For corroboration, see an "Edwards Simons" paying Oresundstolden on 4 June 1878 going in from London for Stettin and again on 25 June 1778, exiting from Colberg for London.   Here's the link to the abstract and you can also navigate to the actual image from that page: http://dietrich.soundtoll.nl/public/names.php?id=193473   Regards, Adi >________________________________ >From: Peter Klein <[email protected]> >To: MICHAEL MITCHESON <[email protected]>; "[email protected]" <[email protected]> >Sent: Friday, September 13, 2013 1:54:53 PM >Subject: Re: [MAR] Collier, Brigs of 1750s > > >Hi Michael, > >There was long ago a place called Trepton, a small settlement near the coast at Warkworth, Northumberland, in the manor of "Roubirie", but both names have evidently long since been defunct - I don't think therefore it could be here.  Alternatively, there is Treptow, now Trzebiatow, Poland, on the river Rega on the Baltic coast, apparently then manufacturing stockings and woollen goods.  This is mentioned in the late 18th-century newspapers in connection with shipping, so "Trepton" may be a misprint. > >Take your pick! > >Regards, > >Peter Klein > > >________________________________ >From: MICHAEL MITCHESON <[email protected]> >To: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> >Sent: Friday, 13 September 2013, 17:23 >Subject: [MAR] Collier, Brigs of 1750s > > >It is reported in the 18th Century newspapers that my G.G.Great Grandfather, Master of  Brig  Providence and Mary arrived at London from Trepton under Simmons on 13 July 1778.  Can anyone inform me where Trepton is or what it is now named. >  >Thanks  Michael > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > >------------------------------- >To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to [email protected] with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message > > >
