Other persons John Watts Little is known about John Watts other than the fact that he was an American merchant captain at the end of the eighteenth century and the beginning of the nineteenth. Probably born about 1778, location unknown but most likely in Virginia , he was captain of the 18 gun, armed merchantman Planter in 1799. Watts is remembered for an action between Planter and a 22 gun French privateer which took place on 10 July 1799 in the eastern Atlantic during the Quasi War with France . During that five hour engagement, Watts and Planter s 43 man crew successfully fought off two concerted attacks by the more heavily armed Frenchman and thwarted the privateer s attempt to take the American ship. Watts and his crew received a generous reward for their efforts from Lloyd s Coffee House in London, the forerunner of the world famous insurance company Lloyd s of London . Watts presumably continued in merchant service after the adventure with the French privateer, but he never served in the United States Navy . John Watts died in 1823, again location unknown.
