Dear Wikipedia Community,

I would like to add to the brig Adams entry. My question is this, should this information be put under the brig Adams or separate entries.

According to historian/author Detroit's First American Decade 1796 to 1805 F. Clever Bald - copyright 1948 P. 152-153 ...the ship Adams, also known as the President Adams was launched June 25, 1799.
 * ref. Pittsburg Gazette, July 20, 1799

She had a good run on the Great Lakes from that time until the year 1812

P. 167 She first sailed under the command of Captain Peter Curry and made her maiden voyage down the river May 18, 1800.

P. 183-184 During the summer of 1801 the brig Adams sailed under the command of John Williams (not Joseph Campau's nephew)

P. 198-199 The longest term of sail for the brig Adams came under the command of Lieutenant Henry B. Brevoort. He was an officer in the regular army who had been master of the gally Adams on the Ohio and Mississippi rivers in 1800 and 1801.

John Askin Papers Vol 2 1796-1820 P. 695 ...he(Brevoort) took command of the brig Adams in the summer of 1802 until the War of 1812, Brevoort with home stationed at Detroit, commanded the "Navy of the Lakes", which most of the period comprised the Adams and her crew.
