On Monday I wrote about Lt. Charles A. Budd commanding the USS Preble at the Battle of Lake Champlain.
The USS Preble, sometimes called the Commodore Preble, was the first U.S. ship named for Commodore Edward Preble. It was purchased on Lake Champlain in 1813 and converted into a warship.
Commissioned 8 August 1813, with Lt. Charles Augustus Budd in command.
It had a crew of 30 and mounted seven 12-pdrs. and two 18-pdrs..
Fought at the Battle of Lake Champlain 11 September 1814. After the battle it was laid up and sold at Whitehall, New York, in July 1815.

Lt. Charles A. Budd, USN
Charles Budd was commissioned lieutenant on June 18, 1814, and sent to Lake Champlain. He commanded the sloop USS Preble at the Battle of Lake Champlain. The USS Preble was about 80 tons and mounted seven long 9 pounder cannon.
Thomas Macdonough, the hero of the Battle of Lake Champlain, took his fleet to Whitehall, New York, on November 18th and turned it over to Lt. Budd.
He may have had a brother who was also a lieutenant, George Budd, commissioned May 23, 1812, and furloughed May 29, 1815.
