During King William's war the French sent a squadron to sweep our commerce from the shores of New England. Captain Gilbert, with his associates, captured a French ship called the Saint Jacob. In 1695 he sailed for London, was taken by a French privateer and imprisoned for two months in France. The remains of Captain Gilbert and his wife Lydia rest in the "Granery burial ground" in Boston.
