Here are suggestions from a ship historian:<br /><br />The brig Prudence, 157 tons, bound from Dublin to New York with cargo of linen & glass, and passengers. She was captured 11 Aug 1812 by HMS Morgiana, which vessel was stationed at Halifax in that period. Another possibility is ship Magnet, 172 tons, bound from Belfast to New York with cargo and passengers; she was captured by HMS Ringdove 18 Jul 1812. Maybe the next step would be to check St Johns newspapers of the period to see if either or both vessels arrived there? Relevant Halifax newspapers would also be worth looking at. <br /><br />Brian descends from Robert's brother William who married Jane Graham and stayed in QuebecOlive Tree Genealogyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02381110998759242462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9266588.post-44025549519883382572015-01-17T12:43:57.218-05:002015-01-17T12:43:57.218-05:00Thank you for putting this together!
