Treworgy Bros Lost At Sea Off Cape Ann

Hi Joey,

I’m wondering if you might know of a local repository in the Gloucester area that might include a record of marine events from the latter part of the 18th century?

I’m trying to find any details and source material on the disastrous December blizzard event that claimed the lives of brothers Spencer Treworgy, Jacob Treworgy, & James Treworgy off of Cape Ann. The various dates given agree on the month of December, but the year of the event varies from as early as 2 Dec 1776, 12 Dec 1777, to Dec 1789. The men were bound from the area of Blue Hill/ Surry/ Ellsworth with a load of lumber sailing to Boston. Below is one account.

Thank you very much for any reply.

Kind regards,

Kelly

Note there are varied spellings for Treworgy.
