Another version has Captian of the HARE as JAMES GODSOE
Sloop HARE, of St. John, N.B., November 29th, 1813. Thirty-eight ton sloop, with a pair of six - pounder guns, ten muskets, fourteen pikes and five cutlasses for a crew of twenty-five men. James Reid, who afterwards commanded the Snap Dragon, took the Hare to the New England coast in mid-winter and made prizes. He was succeeded by James Godsoe, who first went with him as lieutenant. Capt. Godsoe, in the Hare, drove an American privateer of four guns on shore in Mispeck Reach, in March, 1814, and captured her with a boat's crew of five. In working out of the Reach the five men from the Hare grounded the privateer on a ledge. Herethey were surrounded by the Maine militiamen and the American privateersmen who had escaped from the prize. After a fight in which John Carlow, of Waterford, in Ireland, one of the Hare's crew, was killed, the prize was retaken. One of the Hare's prize-masters was John Snaith, sent in with the brig Recovery, January15th, 1814 . Another was Daniel Way (possibly Waid, who commanded the Broke). He brought in the sloop Hero, January 13th, 1814. The Hare was owned by Noah Disbrow, John Clarke and Hugh Doyle, all of St. John, N.B.

I have been sent the copies of this baptism and the marriage of the parents. They were not mis transcribed. It seems such a coincidence {both born 1799}. Is there any way in which I can follow this to see if 'William Godsoe Gordon' and 'William Gordon Godsoe' where one in the same person or not!!! HELP please Lynne

Welcome to the British Genealogy Forum. The OP hasn’t been here since last year, but if they are still using the same email address that they registered with, they should have received an email to say that you have joined their thread. Good luck!
