Misc. Notes
"17__John Couillard came to Bath under peculiar circumstances; he belonged to a French Man of War, which in a battle with an English ship, got its yards entangled with those of the enemy; Couillard went aloft to clear the rigging, the ship rolled, and he found himself a prisoner on board the English ship. It was a drawn game." ~ pg. 10, 1400 Historical Dates of the Town and City of Bath, and Town of Georgetown [Maine], Levi P. Lemont, 1874.
But this doesn’t make a lot of sense—he was supposedly from Chebacco Parish [Ipswich], MA. Perhaps a story about his father? Is this where the clearly erroneous birth date of 1665 comes from?
