I've seen conflicting reports of where William Crispin died: on the ship Amity off shore of Barbados around 1681, and
1645: "Captain Sir William Penn's log from the 28 gun Fellowship located in the Irish Channel: '1645, April 8, about 3 o'clock in the morning, our Master William Crispin, departed out of this world. 1645, April 9, about 2 o'clock in the afternoon, we carried our Master ashore and gave him ten pieces of ordinance, and we buried him in the Chancel of the church of Carrickfergus'" [Church of St. Nicholas, Carrickfergus, Northern Ireland]
Because of the 36 year date difference, it looks like this is another instance of the many sea faring William Crispins being confused. At any rate, I'd love to be able to cite these two facts, especially the quotation from the Fellowship's log.
Thank you.
