Talk:Hemery Brothers

The Brig "Peggy", registered in Jersey, departed Harbour Grace, Newfoundland destined for Spain in the fall of 1783. Owner James ?Homery. It seems likely this was another Hemery Brothers ship.

The Lynx, registered Jersey,was in Harbour Grace in 1783 and 1782, both times under captain Thos. Fall (perhaps supposed to be Falle?), owner in 1783 Jo. Le Visconte, and in 1782 owners were John Du (illegible), Fiott & co. The vessel was described in 1783 as a "Prize, registered Jersey", and in 1782 was noted as having 14 men on board.

A ship called the Jenny was in Harbour Grace four times in this period, but it may have been a different vessel.
