MOOTHAM, Peter,—was made commander of the Foresight, by the duke of York, in the year 1660. He was not appointed to any other ship till the year 1665, when he was made captain of the Princess. He continued so till the following year, when he unfortunately fell in that action which terminated so fatally to the lives, though not to the glory, of such a number of his contemporaries, on the 4th of June, 1666.
