The following partial list of 7 Crew of the brig Andrew Doria is compiled from the “Statement of claims which have been adjusted and allowed at the Treasury Department…on the 27th of March 1792” and published beginning page 387 in American State Papers (1834). Each man’s rate, date the claim was adjusted to and amount of claim is noted. The date noted is the last date of pay. With the evacuation of Fort Mercer at Red Bank, NJ on 20 November 1777, Captain Isaiah Robinson of the brig Andrew Doria gave orders the following day for the vessel to be burned in order to prevent capture. Clearly Archibald Beth, Richard Guy and James Robinson were paid off shortly after the brig Andrew Doria was scuttled. Andrew Moore and John Grimes would subsequently serve on the frigate Virginia and were paid off to the date of Virginia’s capture. A second simplified and alphabetized list follows for ease of internet browsing.
