The schooner Two Brothers, under the command of Captain Stevenson, set sail from Pultneyville to this port, carrying a cargo of wheat and apples on Tuesday, the 12th of November. However, after her departure, no news has been received regarding her whereabouts. On Sunday, a barrel of apples, the captain’s hat, and the tiller were discovered ashore near Nine Mile Point. Concerns arose that the vessel may have been lost during a severe gale that occurred on Tuesday night.
In the morning of the same day, the schooner Three Brothers, also captained by Stevenson, departed from Pultneyville carrying wheat, supplies, and cider destined for Oswego. It is believed that the vessel met with a wreck between 10 and 12 o’clock on that day, as no definite information has been received since then regarding the vessel or its crew. The individuals presumed to be lost include Captain John Stevenson from Williamson, Cephas Field from Sodus, and William Bastian from Mexico, Oswego County, who were part of the crew. Amos Gloyed from French Creek, Jefferson County, was a passenger on board. The cargo of wheat, approximately 700 bushels, belonged to Taylor & Co. of Oswego. The schooner was owned by A. & B. Todd of Pultneyville, as well as Captain Stevenson, as reported by the Palmyra Sentinel.
