Larry, you are probably right about him (good seaman and fighter though) I was wrong to call him a pirate too, he should have been dubbed privateer. Course, if I wasn't a loyalist Englishman, he would be hailed as a great naval officer and hero; but I aint so forgiving of Yankee's. The only way I will forgive em for leaving the family, is if they join the commonwealth and swear allegiance to H.M. the Queen ARRRR! Clearly not likely.......Anyway, anyone one called Jones is a "Taffy" to me. Seeing I call my daughters Godfather a "Great Big Green Papish Irish Rebel" if he was a Jock should have called himself Mac Jones...Yours Aye,Dave

Oooh was you ever on the Congo river,blow boys blow, where fever makes the white man shiver, blow me bully boys blow, A Yankee ship come down the river her masts and yards they shone like silver, blow me bully boys blow.
