| 14 | 8888.0073.0000.00 | documents | Collection of letters, documents, and legal papers | Range, Cir 01/01/1798 - 12/31/1900 | Part of this collection is on CSC 16B1.Collection of letters, documents, and legal papers relating to the schooners Hunter and Fly:The majority of this collection is composed of correspondence between various parties. Included are letters written to Henry Stouffer, a co-owner of the schooners Hunter and Fly from supercargo and co-owner Andrew Wallace; letters between John Stouffer, the son of Henry Stouffer, and James H. Causten, an insurance broker; as well as several miscellaneous letters. Also included are bills of lading, current account and insurance information, yearly financial transactions, and goods purchased all relating to the aforementioned schooners. Three original manuscripts were typescript by an unknown source and are undated, yet they too appear in the collection together with their originals. There are also two typescripts that do not have manuscripts included in the collection. This collection spans the years 1798 to 1900. Background InformationThe Quasi-War (1798-1801) pitted France and the United States against one another in a power struggle for trade in the West Indies. The French confiscated hundreds of American merchant ships during the war. After the war ended, ship owners began to file claims to Congress in order to seek compensation for their lost vessels and cargo. These claims are known as the French spoliation claims.The Fly was one such vessel that was captured by the French in 1799 presumably near the island of St. Martins. The schooner was owned by Henry Stouffer, his business partner Closs, and Andrew Wallace. Henry Stouffer had begun the inquiry about the Fly in 1823; however, he died before any compensation was received. His son, John Stouffer, Esq., continued the inquiry in 1846 corresponding regularly with James H. Causten, presumably an insurance agent who was advising Stouffer in this matter. Although an included typescript document dated from 1886 indicates that the claims were given to attorneys John and David Stewart, the collection contains no evidence that Stouffer was able to receive compensation for his claim.Stouffer, Closs, and Wallace also owned the Hunter. In 1799 both the Hunter and the Fly began their journey to St. Thomas. Wallace was the supercargo or merchant representative aboard the Hunter and frequently wrote letters to Henry Stouffer remarking on progress, etc. It is presumed that the Hunter was not captured by the French as no spoliation claim was made on its behalf.
