John McIntire, Soldier and P.O.W.
I located an ancestor (John McIntire) who served in the American Revolution and was taken prisoner either at the Battle of Savannah or the Battle of Sunbury and served time on the prison ships HMS Vigilant and HMS Sloop Mermaid. I cannot find any referece to Mermaid and the only Vigilant I can find is a modern destroyer. If anyone has information on either the battles or the ships, I would appreciate your sharing it with me. Thank you, Phillip
