John Surratt's real parents?

[L Verge]

Another weird, personal aside: My daughter's former father-in-law is the only licensed privateer in the United States, being appointed such by President Ronald Reagan. My son-in-law and his siblings were raised on a pirate ship that their father constructed, and they participated in Pirate Fests along the East Coast. The father, legal name now Horatio Sinbad, now works with Living Classrooms in teaching children the rudiments of sailing and the history of piracy.

At the children's wedding, Sinbad was in full regalia, and the wedding cake was cut with his saber. When they first started dating, Jen warned Ross that her mother was friends with people that wore Civil War garb at Surratt House and also did Civil War reenactments. Ross started laughing and then told her of his parents' escapades as pirates.
