In 1821 or 1822, Jean Laffite burned down Galveston, TX, loaded up his ship with his treasure, and sailed away. After that, it seems uncertain what became of him. Is there any evidence that he may have sailed north to the Bay of Fundy?

I found this on wikipedia "After his departure from Galveston, Lafitte was never heard from again. Rumors have long circulated that Lafitte died in a hurricane in the Gulf or in the Yucatan around 1826. A controversial manuscript, known as the Journal of Jean Laffite, relates how, after his announced death in the 1820s, he lived in several states in the United States, and raised a family until his death in St. Louis in the 1840s. Reportedly at his request, the publication of the journal was delayed for 107 years and surfaced in the 1950s in the hands of a man claiming to be the pirate's descendant."
