In a previous post, I mentioned the reported connection between Captain Roger Jones, his son, Frederick and  the famous pirate, Blackbeard.  For those who might be interested, one source is the following article about pirates off the Virginia and North Carolina coasts in the late 1600's and early 1700's.

There are numerous sources concerning Roger's political involvement and the accusations against him, but this is the only source I have seen concerning his son Frederick and the pirate Blackbeard.

Would be interested in hearing from anyone researching these subjects.
