The English Sea Captain
This photo was found in my father's old barn, with no identifying information other than that the man pictured was the great-uncle of my grandfather, William Harwood, and that he was the captain of a ship. Family rumor has it that my grandfather's grandmother, Sarah Beason, had a brother, a ship's captain, who was lost at sea. The family reportedly came from Gloucestershire, England. I am hoping someone might recognize this photo and help me with this man's identity.
Date & Place: Not specified or unknown.

Before I start searching: what year was this Sarah Beeson born. My Great-Great-Great-Great Grandmother was Sarah Beeson
My Sarah Beeson was born in Ohio (Quaker) in 1809. Her family came from the UK, Her family fled France when the Catholics were persecuting the Bezon's for converting to being a Protestant. I've traced the Bezons back to Charlemaine. The Bezons Anglesized their name in Britain.
