A friend who is working on a biography of William Waller Hening keeps
encountering information about Hening's brother-in-law Henry Banks, who
clerked for his brother John Banks, a partner in the Richmond firm of Hunter
& Banks. This commercial firm supplied Greene's southern army in the
Carolinas and owned about six ships that were commissioned as privateers.

Hence, the friend is "on the lookout" for a reliable scholarship about
southern privateering in the Revolution - or someone knowledgable about the
topic. Any suggestions would be gratefully passed along.

Thank you.
