Hi Ginny
Thanks nice to hear from you..
I believe it was Asa Priest, but I can seem to find message we sent.
I am still interested adding information on
Francois GUERTIN - and Joseph MARCEAU, to the participant bio pages.
afraid the buffalo didn't record much in the way of statistical information
on the convicts.
really sorry, but as I read through the records the only data is if they
where married or single,
and sometime lists the name of the wife number of children, and country they
came from...
and yes I am still looking for data on those executed sent to VDL.
I found a nice person to take a few pictures around VDL,
as soon as I receive them I'll put them on line...
the HMS Buffalo sank June 1840, and there are pictures of leg irons, found
on the wreck too.
Keep in touch
Bonnie Shafer

Hi, Bonnie - wonderful data you are putting together! Congratulations on
finding so much, and many thanks.
You may recall that I have an interest in one of the French prisoners,
Francois (I think) GUERTIN - and my cousin Carol Anne Chiniquy is tracking
Joseph MARCEAU: could you direct us to the statistical information on these
two? They were shipped aboard the "Buffalo".
We have quite a bit on them, but not the shape of the head and visage and
facial hair!
PS - are you still working on finding what happened to the families of the
executed Americans? Can't remember the surname of the one you and I
talked
about last - was it Abner something? - and it interestingly appeared that he
was a descendant of a 1776 patriot fighter. Upper New York people, as I
recall.
Best regards and many thanks to you for any info.
