Sir Thomas Mostyn
''Sir'' is a formal honorific address in English for men, derived from Sire in the High Middle Ages. Both are derived from the old French "Sieur" (Lord), brought to England by the French-speaking Normans, and which now exist in French only as part of "Monsieur", with the equivalent "My Lord" in English. Traditionally, as governed by law and custom, Sir is used for men titled as knights, often as members of orders of chivalry, as well as later applied to baronets and other offices. As the female equivalent for knighthood is damehood, the female equivalent term is typically Dame. The wife of a knight or baronet tends to be addressed as Lady, although a few exceptions and interchanges of these uses exist. Additionally, since the late modern period, Sir has been used as a respectful way to address a man of superior social status or military rank. Equivalent terms of address for women are Madam (shortened to Ma'am), in addition to social honorifics such as Mrs, Ms or Miss. Etymo ...

Thomas Mostyn (sea Captain)
Thomas Mostyn (fl. 1695–1716, last name also Mosson) was a sea captain and slave trader active between New York and the Indian Ocean, and later in the Caribbean. He was one of the traders employed by New York merchant Frederick Philipse to smuggle supplies to the pirates of Madagascar. History Mostyn set out in 1695 from New York to Madagascar, calling on Adam Baldridge’s pirate trading post at St. Mary’s ( Île Ste. Marie) in August. He stopped there to careen his 20-man 160-ton ship ''Katherine'', selling his goods to the various pirates on the island before sailing to Madagascar to take on slaves for the return trip to New York. The ''Katherine'' had no guns and likely was intended for smuggling rather than piracy. It was owned by Frederick Philipse and had been chartered by Governor Benjamin Fletcher, who would later be relieved of his post for his dealings with pirates. In 1697 Mostyn and his supercargo Robert Allison made another trip to Baldridge’s settlement for ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
