       privateer in  the revolutionary war, making three captures. 
       One was a vessel loaded with ivory, which they sold, taking
       their pay in Continental money, which bcoming worthless they
       lost their prize. He married Ruth Brown, whose father built

Note from age range we can calculate that Eri was born:
between 1755 & 1774; from the 1800 census.
between 1765 and 1784; from the 1810 census.
and before 1775; from the 1820 census.
Thus when combining the above calculations Eri must have been born after 1765 and before 1774 and I place him born in the early 1770's or close to 1773                                                             Robin G. Forrest
