My direct ancestor, Abishai Dunham, was onboard the CHARMING SALLY, just prior its capture by the British. Abishai was field commissioned as Prize Master by Capt. Francis Brown for the captured British vessel, HANNAH, and sailed the vessel into Boston Harbor.its cargo was salted cod. source- Abishai Dunham's pension file contained his field commission written on the CHARMING SALLY'S letter of marque and Boston Gazette article.

Different Charming Sally though, this one is half the tonnage of the Barbuda.

My 5th great grandfather was on board when she was captured by the Nonsuch. Looking for other descendants of crewmembers to connect with. His name was Joseph Frederec and sometimes was spelled Frederik.
