My ancestors are a sea captain and his wife. She was married twice, and it is information about her first husband that I am looking for. She married first, in 1807, Alexander Wederburg. He is listed on the Roster of the Prince de Neufchatel, in 1812: https://www.1812privateers.org/Privateers/crew.html I have a record of their marriage, in Marblehead, MA, in 1807 and they appear on the Boston 1810 census, with some children, but nothing further of him, after that. The next thing I have found, after the above 1812 roster list, is her, as his widow, purchasing a house in Boston, in 1815. According to Boston City directories, she ran this as a boarding house.. So I wondered if he, Alexander, was listed as one of the dead, from the battle you mentioned. The timing seemed to be about right. Also, was your previous source an original document, or a scan of something I might be able to get a copy of from an archive? Either way, , thanks so very much for replying!

[Note: then followed a detailed list of the casualties by name, which I will omit.] Total Killed ,17 Total wounded and died of wounds, 45 [including the surgeon, severely wounded!] Total killed and wounded, 62." Please do provide the list of killed/wounded - or the source please? I'm trying to track the loss/death of a crew member on the Neufchatel. Thanks very much!
