I have more info re John Jelf's career as a "privateer" in the CIs but his origin is said in some sources to be Strood, Kent. There were Jelf master gunners in the Navy before this one.
The Stroud origin is possible because there was a John Jelf merchant, captain sailing out of Bristol in the early 1700s - probably a son.
