Hassard Stackpoole? Captures American Brig Federal 1814 or 1812


I found a source that related the following information:

September 17, 1814,  HMS Acasta , 40 gun fifth rate frigate, Captain Alexander Robert Kerr and HMS Statira, 38-gun Lively Class fifth rate frigate commanded by Captain Hassard Stackpoole, captured American brig Federal commanded by Samuel Swan , Jr..

The Federal was 115 tons and sailing  from Africa to Boston with a cargo of ivory, cam wood, coffee.

Another site lists the date as being September 17, 1812, which is probably correct as Hassard Stackpoole was dead by September 17, 1814, killed in that duel 28 April 1814 that I mentioned in my last post.
