The following partial list of 6 Officers and Crew of the frigate Hancock 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. The frigate Hancock was taken by the British warships Rainbow and Flora on 8 July 1777. With the exception of Nathan Parker, it is assumed that the last date of pay coincided with release from confinement. A second simplified and alphabetized list follows for ease of internet browsing.
