Kay,

  Through our exchanges I'm learning more about both CT history and naval history in general. Of course, Gideon Welles and Andrew Hull Foote (Originally: "Foot") are familiar characters to me. I understand that they were schoolmates as boys.

  I know very little about our privateers during the Revolution. I wasn't familiar with the exploits of the OLIVER CROMWELL. However, I was able to find an excellent resource to detail it for me. Here it is in case you haven't seen it:

 

HISTORY OF OLIVER CROMWELL

  It includes a roster of the ship's crew. Perhaps you had some other relatives who served on it. :)
