Sources: PROB 11/1125/190 Voyage no. 77919 of the St Augustine Packet to St Augustine in 1767 has no ownership information in TASTDB, but is said to have been sent by Richard Oswald to Mount Oswald with 70 captive Africans in Marc R. Matrana, Lost Plantations of the South. TASTDBD shows two further voyages by the St Augustine Packet, both with the same captain as the 1767 voyage, one from London to Sierra Leone and Barbados (voyage no. 76196), and the other from Charleston (voyage no. 24648) that ended in the loss of the vessel in 1770, neither with ownership information.
