Julian joined pirate Samuel Bellamy, and became the pilot of Bellamy's Whydah when he was probably only 16 years of age.[2]
In 1717, the Whydah shipwrecked, with Julian and a carpenter called Thomas Davis being the only known survivors.[3] He was captured, but not indicted, so he was probably sold as a slave.[citation needed] He may have been the "Julian the Indian" bought by John Quincy, great grandfather of president John Quincy Adams.[1]
"Julian the Indian" reportedly made multiple attempts to flee and once killed a bounty hunter who was after him.[1] He was executed in March 1733.[3]
