2nd generation American Colonial, of Scots -Irish decent and
holding hereditary lands and title of “The MacKay”. Jasper
Coal gained 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. He was to be sent to
England for trial but escaped British Imprisonment, killing a
British officer and 3 soldiers in the
process. He commandeered a 6 gun schooner, The Lynx, from New
York harbor along her privateer crew. With no fondness for the
French or English Governments and a price on his head from both,
he took to the
life of Piracy.
