This all started with a article about the Battle of Caulk's Field in Maryland. Then, it led to his ship, the HMS Menelaus and then on his various raids and expeditions in Maryland. Then to the ship's commander, Captain Peter Parker.
I found more information about his pre-Menelaus life as well as his family which consisted of several Royal Navy officers. Then, at one point, I found that he had sent two men to walk around American Annapolis and they evidently walked right through Fort Madison there.
This fort will be the subject of the next several entries.
