South Carolina Privateer Schooner Will and Henry (Commander Richard Eastef) was captured in October 1776 in the West Indies. She was sailing out of [Charlestown], South Carolina, and was apparently homeward bound with a cargo of sugar and rum, when she was captured by HM Frigate Winchelsea (Captain Nathaniel Bateman).1
