Alphabetical List of Officers and Men of the Frigate Confederacy (1779)
The Alphabetical List of Officers and Men of the Frigate Confederacy (1779) is derived from the list that appears on pages 601-602 of the publication “Record of Service of Connecticut Men, Part I, Naval Record of Connecticut, 1775-1783” edited by Henry P. Johnston (1889). A note on page 600 indicates the original list is in the Connecticut Historical Society in Hartford. This list of officers and men was probably associated with the Confederacy’s maiden cruise out of New London on Saturday 1 May 1779. However, most of her crew would remain with the ship until her return to Philadelphia from Martinico on Thursday 27 April 1780 at the completion of her second major cruise. The list has been annotated to include position on the ship if known and offers alternate spellings of names (in parenthesis) to assist internet browsing. Continue reading
