Talk:John Ebbetts

Same or different?
Was this the same John Ebbetts who was a ship captain for John Jacob Astor, and traded one with Alexander Adams (Hawaii)? Sounds like the right era, perhaps becoming coming to California in the Gold rush after his naval career? More likely a relative, since since a source says the Captain died enroute to China in 1835.
