Cahoon Rev War prisoners
Apparently during the Revolutionary War, captured American prisoners were sometimes held on ships that were in the Brooklyn Navy Yard.On a list of prisoners of the Revolution after 1780, two Cahoons are listed as being held on the "Old Jersey".They are John Cahoon and Jonathan Cahoone.If you'd like to see the list, go to http://www.usmm.net/revdead.htmlhttp://www.usmm.net/revdead.html.
