notoriety as a formidable skirmisher and scout  in Robert Roger’s 
Rangers during the1st campaign against the French and Indians in the 
Hudson Valley of New Hampshire.  Having taken a Huron Wife, he was 
later accused of conspiring to aid the enemies of England  by Robert’s 
brother James Rogers and charged with treason by the Crown. Coal and 
was stripped of this title and lands by King George’s Court. His  
Indian wife was killed by the Rangers in the skirmish to capture him.

Imprisonment,  killing a British officer and 3 soldiers in the 
process.  He commandeered a 6 gun schooner, The Lynx, from New York

English Governments and a price on his head from both, he took to the 
life of Piracy.
