The sailmaker was an older man, no doubt a senior veteran of the Royal Navy, and a native of either Canada or the USA, he had served with Bligh on the 'Britannia'. He remained quite friendly to him. During the voyage of the Launch, he appears to have sided with Bligh in the disputes with Fryer.

Many years after, he was encountered by a member of the Bligh family. When asked about the Bounty, his response was 'Damn me, I never think about the ship'.

Caroline Alexander, in "The Bounty" says that Lawrence Lebogue died in the spring of 1795, on board the 'Jason', while it was moored in Plymouth harbor. Lebogue was fifty-two at the time of his death and had served Bligh loyally in the West Indies, on both breadfruit voyages.
