| Summary | Papers (1819-35) of Jacob Reeves of East Sudbury, Mass., including leases and deeds to lands there and a few items related to his role as justice of the peace. Also, a typescript of a diary or reminiscences, possibly written by John Allen of Marblehead, Mass., of a voyage to Cuba kept in June 1809, describing Allen's voyage from Portsmouth, N.H., to Cienfuegos, Cuba, and his brief stay in the city. The remainder of the diary notes his activities during the War of 1812, including the capture of his fishing vessel by the British and his imprisonment on the ship AJAX, on the prison ship JASON, and at Dartmoor Prison in England, his voyage to Boston on the ship HECTOR, and his daily life in Marblehead upon his return (1812-13). Additional pieces by or about Allen include a description of his voyage on the privateer GENERAL ARMSTRONG and a battle with the ship CARNATION at Fayal, the Azores (September 1814) and biographical information on his childhood. |
