Real life has a way of tearing you from the things you love most to do, which is a partial explanation of why this overall project has been taking so long.\u00a0 However, recent inquiries into Owen Tudor<\/a>, Louis Manierre<\/a>, and Capt. Tryon<\/a> have brought me back on track when two jobs and other obligations allow.\u00a0 Not least of which is the nagging misinformation from the late 19th century which has caused great confusion regarding Moses and his family line – No, Moses was not in the Barbary Wars.\u00a0 No, Moses Jr. did not marry an Ann Tryeon or any other variant spelling\u00a0of the name, nor was she his child by another\u00a0– that was his half-sister and the misconception there is a result of the 1890’s mis-transcription of Nancy\/Ann’s gravestone <\/a>by E S Tillotson – so for all of you claiming descendancy from this fictional union on your Ancestry.com charts, I bring you\u00a0bad news…<\/p>\n

On the other hand, the biography of Capt. Tryon is back on track, undergoing that second re-write in which I am inserting some relevant information of the era to explain what and why for Moses’ activities.\u00a0 The genealogical data for several generations is essentially complete, which will comprise the second section of the book.<\/p>\n

I have also been reviewing my data on Seth Overton <\/a>– the contractor for the building of the ship Connecticut, and of Silas Butler <\/a>– the purser of the vessel and later the purser for the Navy Yard in Brooklyn, NY.\u00a0 I’ll be adding some general data to this site regarding them, and assembling bios for them that may or not become books in their own right.<\/p>\n

Please continue to contact me should you have thoughts or questions, and if you are a descendant of any of these men, please DO contact me!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
