George Claghorn
George Claghorn ( – , 1824)〔Contemporary records, which used the Julian calendar and the Annunciation Style of enumerating years, recorded his birth as July 6, 1748. The provisions of the British Calendar (New Style) Act 1750, implemented in 1752, altered the official British dating method to the Gregorian calendar with the start of the year on January 1 (it had been March 25). These changes resulted in dates being moved forward 11 days, and for those between January 1 and March 25, an advance of one year. For a further explanation, see: Old Style and New Style dates.〕〔 (Both Franklin's and Claghorn's confusing birth dates are clearly explained.)〕 was an American patriot and shipwright. He served as an officer and was wounded in the American Revolutionary War.〔''E. Americana'' (1957).〕 After the war, he was awarded the rank of colonel in the Massachusetts militia. Claghorn was the master shipbuilder of the (a.k.a. "''Old Ironsides''"), which he built for the first American navy during the years 1794–97. The ''Constitution'' is the oldest naval vessel in the world that is still commissioned, afloat and seaworthy.〔

Claghorn was born in 1748, the ninth child of Experience (Hawes) and Shubael Claghorn in Chilmark, Massachusetts on Martha's Vineyard. As a family name, Claghorn (also Cleghorn) appears in Scottish records as early as 1350 in Edinburgh, Cramond, Lothian and Corstorphine. His great-grandfather, James, had been brought to New England in 1650 as a prisoner of war during the Scottish Rebellion, following the Battle of Dunbar. Claghorn married Deborah Brownell of Dartmouth on December 20, 1769, and they had eight children.〔Banks (1925).〕 He died in 1824 in Seekonk, Massachusetts.
