    An Accounting by Unknown Author
    The author tells about his family being driven from New York City for daring to rebel. He tells the family moved city to city and finally ended up in Philadelphia, PA in 1779. He indicates he took to the seafaring life aboard the Aurora with 20 guns. He tells about leaving under Captain Sutton bound for Estatia/Eslatia; leaving the capes (Heplopen) the middle of the day of about May 4th, and in about 6 hours later was captured by the men of the frigate, "Iris," from Charleston, SC. "We made but little resistance, being light in metal, only four pounders and green hands. We could not reach her. She hull'd us every shot. Mr. John Laboyteaux, our captain of marines, of this city, was killed by a twelve pound shot." He tells that they were brought into New York and the crew taken prisoner aboard the old Jersey prison. He and two other boys were sent to Elizabeth Town, New Jersey.

    "... I think it possible that both the John and Peter on the 'South Carolina' were the teenage sons of John who died in 1780. ...the South Carolina was sunk or captured when it tried to escape the port of Philidelphia by running a blockade about the city. Philidelphia would be the likely location for John's family at that time." (Source: 21 Feb 2008: LABOYTEAUX-L: J.A.R.M.)
    Another record seems to indicate that JOHN LABOYTEAUX of Philadelphia wrote his will 21 May 1780 and it was probated 29 June 1781 in Philadelphia, PA. ash

    "In 1777 the U.S. Commissioners in France ordered from a Dutch shipyard a frigate, to be named L'Indien. British pressure in the Dutch required it to be sold to the king of France, who gave it to the duke of Luxembourg in 1780 May. He immediately chartered it to South Carolina in exchange for a substantial share in any prizes it should take. Commodore Alexander Gillon (who had been born in Rotterdam in 1741) was named captain, and the ship was renamed the South Carolina. The ship took several prizes and helped a Spanish expedition capture the Bahamas from the British. The ship was captured on 1782 Dec 20 as she tried to run the British blockade of Philadelphia."
