Sacred to the Memory
of that valuable Inƒtructor
Capt. Thomas Clouston
who in the midƒt of great uƒefulneƒs
took his departure,
on Monday evening, Aug. 10, 1795
Æt. 52.
Happy the Seaman who his Compaƒs knows
And ƒteers to Heaven, tho' ƒtorms & tempeƒts blow
His Admirals ƒignal quickly before fly
Which bid his hark to ƒail beyond the ƒky
His ƒails trim'd & took his leave of all,
Knowing it right to obey his Admirals call.
His name appears on LIST OF PRISONERS TAKEN IN THE BRIGANTINE DOLTON, AND COMMITTED TO MILL PRISON, PLYMOUTH, ENGLAND, JUNE, 1777. as Thomas Cluston +. The + sign means he escaped.
You can read more about him and the Clouston family in England here.
Another genealogy link which mentions his work on the privateers Raleigh and Dalton.
His father-in-law was John Coats.
