    Lemuel Stebbins Jennings was Capt. of a ship out of Hartford CT at the outbreak of the war of 1812. He was commissioned as a privateer by the US gov. It has been stated that he was captured by the British. But being a "Free Mason", and his captor also one, a deal was made that if he was released, he would not fight anymore.
