Stephen Trowbridge of Milford?

Today I found on Google book search, a book called Thirty-Six Voyages Various Parts of the World made between the years 1799 and 1841 by George Coggeshall. The title page is below.



The entry that contained information about Stephen Trowbridge
was in Chapter Four "Voyage in the Schooner Thomas with Captain Henry Turner from Milford, Connecticut to Berbice and the West India Islands and back again to Milford in the years 1802 and 1803" as seen below.



The entry concerning Stephen Trowbridge is:





This would fall within the time frame if Trowbridge was Captain in 1860, it would not be surprising that he was a seaman on board a schooner in 1802 to 1803.
