About Cornelius Coolidge
Cornelius Coolidge was a real estate developer in early 19th-century Boston, Massachusetts, who constructed buildings in Boston's Beacon Hill neighborhood, and elsewhere. As a young man he had been involved in maritime trade, but not always within the prescribed laws. During the War of 1812, the brig Dispatch owned by Coolidge and Francis Oliver was captured outside Boston Harbor by the Salem privateer Castigator on suspicion of trading with the enemy. Coolidge and Oliver operated two boats with 45 armed men, rowed down the harbor, and regained their brig after an exchange of gunfire. However, the district court restored the brig to the privateers.
