A vessel sailed from our river, October 20, bound to Boston, having on board four men, two women and two children — eight persons in all — belonging to Hampton. From some cause not now known, the vessel, soon after leaving the harbor, either foundered, or was capsized, and all on board perished. The persons lost were these : Robert Reed, Serg'. William -Swaine, Emanuel Milliard, John Philbrick, his wife Ann, and their daughter Sarah, Alice, the wife of Moses Cox, and John Cox their son, and as is sup posed, their only child.[3]
