• ... that Nathaniel Tracy worked for George Washington and worked with Thomas Jefferson? Source: At General George Washington’s request, he provided vessels for Benedict Arnold’s expedition to Maine at the start of an ill-failed attempt on Quebec ... Sailing with Thomas Jefferson on a business trip to Europe in 1784 failed to reverse his fortunes, and by 1786 he was bankrupt.
  • ALT1: ... that Nathaniel Tracy worked in failed ventures both for George Washington and with Thomas Jefferson? Source: Same as ALT0.
  • ALT2: ... that Nathaniel Tracy may not have been paid for taking orders from George Washington? Source: Nathaniel Tracy received orders from Washington to provide the transport for the expedition from Newburyport to Maine. Ironically this was then considered one of the more dangerous parts of the plan because of British Navy successes in interdiction. Tracy was promised reimbursement for his expenses, but it’s more likely, based on a November 1775 letter, that he was never paid.
