Briggs Thanks, Barbara, I'd appreciate that. I've got some other unconnected Briggs in my database. There was a Carlton Briggs, b. 1804, with a son Henry W. The son Henry W. was also a Captain. Also a Captain Silas Briggs, b. circa Feb 1807. I was wondering if they were relatives of Benjamin. I mean with all these Captain Briggs's it might be a family profession.
