Samuel Chester Reid was born in Norwich, Conn. on 24 August 1783 and entered the U.S. Navy in 1794. He served in Baltimore [sic; Constellation]
with Commodore Truxton [sic; Truxtun] and in 1803 became master of the brig Merchanter. During the War of 1812 he commanded the privateer General Armstrong and
at Fayal, Azores, in 1814 engaged gunboats from British men-of-war en route to Jamaica and New Orleans. Although eventually forced to scuttle and abandon his ship, Reid's action delayed
the British squadron and aided General Jackson's defense of New Orleans. He was appointed master in the Navy in 1844 and died at New York 28 January 1861.
USS Reid (FFG 30) (1983 - 1998) was the fourth ship named in his honor, she was preceded by DD21 (1909-1919),
DD 292 (1919-1930), and DD 369 (1936-1944). |
