Subject:    [Robbinsfamilysouthjersey] British Prison Ship "Jersey"

Saw this item on Rootsweb, thought it was relevant. Robins prisioners
listed below.

List Of 8000 Men Who Were Prisoners On Board The Old Jersey

List compiled by 'The Society Of Old Brooklynites' in 1888.*

"This list of names was copied from the papers of the British War
Department. There is nothing to indicate what became of any of these
prisoners, whether they died, escaped, or were exchanged. The list
seems to have been carelessly kept, and is full of obvious mistakes
in spelling the names. Yet it shall be given just as it is, except
that the names are arranged differently, for easier reference. This
list of prisoners is the only one that could be found in the British
War Department. What became of the lists of prisoners on the many
other prison ships, and prisons, used by the English in America, we
do not know."

*Names marked are not from the list, but correspondence sent by
descendants or others.
