Partial list of the Officers and Crew of the frigate Raleigh compiled from “Statement of Claims”

The following partial list of 4 Officers and Crew of the frigate Raleigh 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 frigate Raleigh was taken on 28 September 1778 by the British warships Unicorn and Experiment. The date noted is the last date of pay which, with the exception of David Morgan, is assumed to coincide with release from confinement or return to Boston.
