    Capt. James Ableson, in some sources spelled Abelson

    James Abelson served in both the Commonwealth and Restoration navies. From 1653 to 1656, he commanded the 5th Rate Mermaid (24 guns). In 1656, he commanded the 4th Rate Kent, but he resigned for some reason. He was back as a captain in 1660, when he commanded the Grantham. James Abelson was killed in action on 3 June 1665 (at the Battle of Lowestoft). http://17th-centurynavwargaming.blogspot.com/2005/01/english-captain-james-abelson.html
    L&M say James Ableson was killed in the ship Guinea (Companion).
