He was also a mate on the privateer "Lady Washington ", under the command of Capt. James Godfrey. He married Mary, widow Young, of Boston, whose surname has not been identified. It has been conjectured that Mary may have been Mary Brenton, or whose mother may have been a Brenton, as their son was given this rather unusual first name.
