In April 1813, command of the Saucy Jack was turned over to John P. Chazal who commanded her for the rest of the war. he had a crew of 150 and also 1st Lt. Dale Carr, 2nd Lt. Lewis Jantzen and Surgeon Dr. James McBride. Chazal, Jantzen and McBride were all formerly of the Defiance (probably also a privateer).
The Saucy Jack and captain John P. Chazal proved to be a good match and a very profitable one for its owner, John Everingham.
The 19800-1830 census showed that John Everingham lived in Charleston, S.C., and the city directory listed him as a merchant. Court records show he owned or co-owned several ships. Evidently, he was the sole owner of the schooner Doris.
In 1813, he is shown as co-owner of the privateer General Armstrong (but this iwas not the more famous New York registered General Armstrong). Cemetery records list his death as in 1831.
