He was a vet- eran of the sea before the commencement of the Revolution, and took an early part in the contest. He commanded the Cabot, a continental brig, in the squadron of Commodore Hop- kins, and afterwards succeeded Paul Jones in the ship Alfred, which he was unfortunately obliged to surrender to the Ar- iadne and Ceres on a return voyage from France, March 9, 1778. Being carried a prisoner to England, after a short con- finement, he found friends who aided his escape to France, from whence he returned home. In 1779 he went out in the privateer sloop, Hancock, owned by Thomas Mumford, who was probably his brother-in-law. In this enterprise he was quite successful, and on June 1, 1780, he took command of the armed ship Deane.
