Laughton writes that this took place in 1690. Watson writes August 1689. Colledge's "Ships of the Royal Navy" confirms that "Portsmouth" was taken in August 1689, and subsequently blew up. Watson mentions only one daughter and one son. Laughton names two daughters, plus his son John, but goes on to speculate that Edward St Lo appears to have been another son, who was not mentioned in the will. Watson instead notes that Edward was George's nephew.
