Name and nationality[edit]

We need evidence for "born Edward Seegar in Ireland". Both the "Seegar" name and his Irishness are often asserted, but as I recall the first derives from a confusion between Edward England and Jasper Seegar (mistakenly thought to be different names for the same man), neither of whom ever went by the name "Edward Seegar"; while the assertion that he was Irish is based on the assumption that his victim Captain Mackra, who described him as his fellow countryman, was Irish - and Mackra in fact appears to have been Scottish.

I don't have the sources to hand, but this needs to be checked. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.233.149 (talk) 16:43, 25 March 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Seager[edit]

Jasper Seager and Edward England were two separate individuals. They were conflated in the past. However, 1st mate John Barnes Journal from the Greenwich, a ship that was actually at the taking of Cassandra, asserted there were two pirate ships involved "one a French built ship of 46 guns by name of victory Capt. England, The other a Dutch-built of 36 guns by name of Fancy Capt. Seager.” SC9370176CEC (talk) 18:59, 17 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Humerus bones[edit]

The bones at the picture do not look like humerus bones. I think these are actually shins.

Exempted from pardon?[edit]

Charles Grey (1933) [pp. 304–305] asserts that England was exempted from the 1818 Act of Grace; however, neither his name, nor "Seagar" nor "Seegar", appears in the text of the proclamation. —AlphaMikeOmega (talk) 17:54, 30 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
