    Notes:

    From 1787 to 1811 he followed the sea as cabin boy, sailor, captain and owner, trading principally with the West Indies and the
    Spanish Main, both in North and South America;
    also with Brazil and the Guianas. In l811, during
    the Mexican insurrection, under Hidalgo, he was
    captured while commanding a vessel owned by himself and his brother, Moses, the vessel and $30,000 in specie confiscated and he held a captive. * Released, after three years, he found his vessel sold and all his papers destroyed, which prevented the recovery of his property. Abandoning the sea, he, in June 1815, gathered up his family, and with a wagon drawn by an ox team for a conveyance, started for Ohio, and in August following arrived at Euclid, near Cleveland, OH., where a cousin, Jonathan Pelton, son of Joseph Pelton, 1st, of Chatham, Conn., had settled the year before. Here he bought land, and here his
    wife Lucy (b. Aug. 1 [or 11], 1775) died September
    2, 1815. In 1819 he bought land with a small clearing and a log house, of John Sherrarts, in Vermillion, Huron (now Erie) Co., OH., and removed to the new farm. At that time there was large game, deer, bears, wolves and wild turkeys in plenty, with some Indians still roaming the woods. Here he was a farmer. But he could not forget the old vocation, and soon after his arrival built a small vessel, launched her upon Lake Erie, and called her the "Franklin" after his youngest son. At that time the
    nearest mills were at Cleveland and Cold Creek.

    * Another account says he was taken and held captive by pirates.
