It is interesting to note that in Sandwich's Journal there is no mention of a Saunders in the Fleet lists of April and September of 1665.
There is a Captain Francis Sanders on the hired Merchantman Constant Catherine (4th Rate)
Also a Captain Robert Sanders on the hired Merchantman Loyal Merchant (210 men and 44 guns) in April, and then switches to the Constant Catherine in September.
