New York History Forum: Privateers in King George's War (1739=1748

Can anyone give me sources for information about privateers from New York during King George's War (1739-1748)? I am looking for information about John Eason, a privateer who sailed out of New York in 1747 and never returned. He was the captain of his ship, but I don't know the ship's name.

If the person posting this message left their e-mail address, we inserted some random characters to prevent spammers from harvesting their address. Spammers do this with automated "bots" that constantly search the Web looking for e-mail addresses. Since you're a human being, not a bot, you can easily obtain the real address by removing the text that says "ThisisToPreventSpam-XYZ-RemoveThis." including the random number XYZ and the period at the end. For example, <whitten@ThisIsToPreventSpam-123-RemoveThis.despammed.com> would become <chris-(@)-interesting.com>.
