[edit] Margaret privateer?

Was the Margaret a merchant ship or a privateer? The article says her Mediterranean Pass was actually a Letter of marque, which is what allows a ship to raid ships of an opposing nation. (SEWilco 16:31, 19 January 2007 (UTC))

[edit] Date of birth

There was a Thomans Gordone who married Jeane Hay and had two children, Margret christened 6 August 1657 and Thomas Gordone, christened 23 September 1658. Could the boat The Margaret have been called after his sister (if indeed this is the same person). The evidence exists in the parish register of Aberdeen and a visit to any Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints would provide the evidence. Original research? Don't think so as someone else has already recorded it i.e. Church of Scotland, and CJCLS copied and published it. Bill Reid | Talk 11:28, 19 July 2007 (UTC)
