Revolutionary War Delaware River and Bay Pilots

Two weeks ago I picked up the recently published book “The Cape May Navy” (2018) authored by Cape May area decoy maker and historian J. P. Hand and his West Coast collaborator Dr. Daniel P. Stites highlighting the contribution of Delaware Bay Privateers to the American Revolutionary cause. The book ends with a challenge to solve the mystery of “what became of the celebrated privateer” Yelverton Taylor. Always one ready to pick up a research mystery, I discovered quickly that Yelverton Taylor, or Yelvington as some records indicate, had an older sister wrapped up deep in a traitorous conspiracy to assist the British enemy. While the story does not precisely follow my concentration on the patriotic contributions of those in government service in the Continental Navy, I thought it a story worth telling. The devious plan centered on engaging two Delaware Bay pilots and one additional pilot capable of maneuvering through the “Chevaux de Freize” guarding the Delaware River and protecting Philadelphia and secreting to New York in order to pilot the British fleet up the Delaware for an attack on the fledgling nation’s capital. Testimony surrounding British Army Lieutenant James Molesworth’s plot indicates Yelverton Taylor’s sister Abigail McKay (aka McCoy) solicited the prospective collusion of several pilots at Molesworth’s behest from her home on Union Street in Philadelphia. When questioned by the pilots on how they would profit and avoid being caught, she responded that they would receive a lifetime stipend from a grateful Lord Howe aside from an immediate payment of five hundred guinéas. They were to be accompanied to New York on horseback, pilot Lord Howe’s flagship the Man-of-War Eagle up the Delaware and safely pass the Rebel fortifications as all the “Cannon wou’d be spiked up by some of our own People who attended the Fort.” Furthermore, she impressed upon the prospective conspirators “not to betray any of them by letting anything be known which had passed between them”.

Mrs. Abigail McKay’s initial deposition of 27 March 1777 appears on pages 275 and 276 of the “Pennsylvania Archives” (1853) and reads: “I know James Molesworth- he lodged at the Widow Yarnall’s in Chesnut Street, and was Clerk to Mr. Rhodes and Mr. Powell during the times of their Mayorilty. Molesworth has been often at my house and was there last evening I heard him then hint that he wanted Pilots. I saw Molesworth give Sneider money but knew not for what purpose. Molesworth asked for Eldridge & Higgons, and I told them that he wanted to see them. I saw Andrew Higgons at Mr. O’Bryan’s in Front Street, and told him I wanted to speak with him, he accordingly (as I was afterwards informed) called at my house, but I was not at home- he call’d last evening when I was at home. Yesterday morning I saw Higgons at my house, & told him I wanted to ask him some particular questions; but they were concerning my Mother. He asked me how he could go (meaning to New York) without being catch’d. I answered that I dare say he might go safe enough without being catch’d. I told him I dared to say, that it would be the making of him. I heard that a person had been sent from New York to engage Pilots, and I heard that some were going. I remember Higgons saying yesterday morning that he could get a Cheveaux de Frieze Pilot. I heard them yesterday talking about the Eagle, and some of them said she drew too much water to come up. Higgons brought Sneider to my House some time before Molesworth came. Higgons & Sneider agreed to meet Molesworth at my house. I told them Molesworth was the Person who wanted to speak to them. Molesworth asked me are these the People I wanted to speak to? I said yes. This happen’d yesterday evening. I did not hear any time certainly fixed for the Fleet’s being round, some having said next month, others not till the beginning of May. I might have said the Fleet are expected here. It was either Monday or Tuesday coming that Moleswarth told me he wanted these Pilots. My Brother Yelvington Taylor, who is a Pilot & goes to Sea, went down in a ship of which Sneider [John Schneider] was Pilot. I understood Molesworth he had been in Virginia.”

According to testimony before the Board of War, Abigail McKay apparently told the enemy agent Molesworth “she believed some of the Cape May Pilots would do it”. Thankfully, her opinion of her own patriot brother was higher than some of the other Cape May pilots as she returned the following day on 28 March to testify further. “Last Monday Evening, which was the first time she ever heard of the Affair, Molesworth came to her house & asked for her Brother, with whom he had very particular business & wou’d not miss her Brother for Twenty Pounds. She said her bro’ was gone down with a Wessel [Vessel], & on asking what he wanted, he said he wanted to employ Pilots to bring the Fleet round from New York… She knew Molesworth’s Character to be that of a Tory, his Conversation frequently tending that way. Mrs. [Sarah O’] Brien knew the whole affair fully. Molesworth on his application for her Brother told her at once the Reason why he was so anxious to see him. She told him her Brother would not engage in any such thing.” As if to excuse her own involvement in the treachery, Mrs. McKay pleaded innocently that she was recently “down at the Capes to see her Mother, & has been in Town only two weeks.”

The enemy scheme and American treachery ended with James Molesworth’s confession on the evening of 30 March 1777, the day before his execution where he reportedly requested his confession read aloud “when under the Gallows it might be made Publick.” Molesworth’s two female collaborators Abigail McKay and Sarah O’Brien, were seized and committed to prison by the War Office on 2 April. On Wednesday 2 July 1777, Yelverton Taylor’s sister Abigail petitioned to be set free on bail which was granted under the following terms, “That she be enlarged on Bail, with more or one sufficient sureties, in the Sum of One Thousand Pounds, conditioned that she appear at the next Court of Quarter Sessions and answer the charge which shall be brought against her; & that in the meantime she shall not reside or come nearer to the City of Philadelphia than the West side of Schuylkill on the Westward, and not nearer than three Miles of the said City to the Northward, for & during one Year.” While the final disposition of Mrs. Abigail McKay’s case has not yet been determined, this story of intrigue among those pilots of the River and Bay of Delaware named in the court records- John Eldridge, Andrew Higgins (Higgons), John Schneider (Snyder), William (Bill) Skillinger and Nathan Church has set me on another course of identifying all those pilots who served local shipping during those perilous times.

Privateer Captain Yelverton Taylor’s name appears with twenty-one others on a 20 September 1775 petition of the Pilots of the City of Philadelphia published in the Pennsylvania Archives (1879) on pages 376 & 377, pleading for use of two government galleys in order to fish and oyster to support themselves and their families who are deprived of their presence at the Capes. An alphabetized list of the petitioners is as follows:

John Adams

Michael Dawson

William Downs

Joseph Gamble

Miles Gerrard

Daniel Gorton

Abraham Marshall

William Marshall

Nehemiah Maull

William Moleston

Nathaniel Philip

Charles Richards

James Roberts

William Ross

John Schneider

Daniel Shillinger

Henry Shillinger

James Steward

Yelverton Taylor

Henry Tuder

William White

On 20 October 1775, the following ten pilots originally selected as the Chevaux-de-Frize Pilots “agreed to enter into the service of this Province [Pennsylvania], at the rate of six Pounds per month, for the purpose of piloting all vessels from Chester, through the machines sunk near Fort-Island, to this City [Philadelphia], and from this City to Chester”. Furthermore, “each of us duly sworn upon the Holy Evangelists, do, and every of us does, declare and swear, that he will not discover, to any person or persons whatever, any matter or thing which he shall be informed of or intrusted with, or which he now knows, or shall hereafter acquire knowledge of, by his own skill and experience or otherwise, whereby any person or persons may be taught and instructed how to conduct and navigate a vessel to pass through or between the machines called chevaux-de-frise, sunk in the River Delaware, by order of the Committee of Safety; and that each of us will use his utmost skill and endeavours to keep out of the way of and prevent his being taken by any British man-of-war, armed vessel, or other vessel in the immediate service of the King of Great Britain.”

Joshua Fisher first published at Philadelphia in 1756 his subsequently suppressed Chart of [the] Delaware Bay from the Sea-Coast to Reedy-Island which served as the source of William Faden’s well circulated re-engraved chart issued in March 1776. This chart included a list of pilots and ship masters who attested to its accuracy and included the following pilots whose names are here alphabetized. One of Molesworth’s intended conspirators Andrew Higgins is included.

Scrutiny of the of the Pennsylvania Archives (1879) and Delaware Archives (1891) brings to light the service, patriot and otherwise of a number of pilots operating on the Delaware, some not noted on those dedicated lists including:

John Adams, pilot of ship General Green, died 29 May 1779

Frederick Bird, Former captain of sloop Defence May 1777, Entered on Fire brig Vesuvius June 1777, Fire brig Vulcano and pilot of the fire fleet 1777, Captain of the Sally January 1778

Alexander Bruce, unauthorized trip to Capes in a pilot boat 1776

Nathan Church, 1777

John Conner, Delaware, accused of trading with and piloting the enemy

Samuel Davis, Lewes Town

Samuel Edwards, April 1776, stationed at Lewes Town

John Eldridge, 1776

Nehemiah Field, Lewes Town

Henry Fisher, Lewes Town

Joseph Gamble, refused to go on board ship Delaware August 1777

Andrew Higgins, former Captain of PA sloop Defence, pilot of schooner Delaware May 1777-1778

Nicholas Himan, Master and pilot of brig Convention May 1777

Jeremiah Holden (Holben), pilot of brig Convention July 1777, pilot from Chester to Capes

George Jackson, pilot of fire ship Hecla 5/21/76-5/21/77, pilot of ship Strumbelo July 1777, Runaway September 1777

James Jones, 1776, Lewes Town

John Marshall, pilot of ship Stumbelo, pilot of fire ship Hecla July 1777, Runaway September 1777

John E. Maul, Lewes Town

William Moore, Jr, Cape May, accused of harbouring and piloting the enemy

Daniel Murphy, unauthorized trip to Capes in a pilot boat 1776

Thomas Rowland, 1784

Enos Schillinger, Jr.

William (Bill) Skillinger, pilot from Cape May 1777

Mr. Skillinger. 1784

John Smith, unauthorized trip to Capes in a pilot boat 1776

Henry Tudor, 26 years of experience by 1776, 45 days on PA brig Convention, on Randolph 12/1/1776

Richard Wells, Hire of pilot boat 1777

A scan of the Pennsylvania Archives (1879) reveals the 1777 wages of pilots navigating the Delaware to be forty-two dollars per month with two rations of food per day while the “Chevaux de Frize” piloting wages had increased from their initial rate of L 6 per month two years earlier to L 18 per month with three rations per day. One authorization for payment of L 3 stands out as evidence that pilots were also compensated on occasion for extraordinary duty or hazard pay if the specific situation warranted. Delaware River and Bay pilots operating out of Philadelphia, Chester or Wilmington hailed largely from the Capes, either Lewes Town or Cape May. No particular effort has yet been made to identify the home of each of the pilots listed however, familial clues can be found in both Hand & Stites “The Cape May Navy” (2018) and Andrew Knopp’s “One Hundred Year History of the Pilot’s Association Bay and River Delaware 1896-1996” (1996). Knopp quotes J. Thomas Scharf’s “History of Delaware” on page 5 noting “After 1800, the occupation of piloting at Lewes appears to have been confined almost entirely to persons bearing the names of Conwell, Clampitt, Rowland, Maull, Howard, West, Marshall, Wesley, Chambers and Verdin.” Hand and Stites on page 35 of their book list the families tied to maritime interests on the Jersey Cape, “from East Hampton and Southampton, on the east end of Long Island, came the Hands, Hughes, Leamings, Edwards and Schellingers. From Western Long Island and/or East Jersey came the Corsons, Stillwells, Willets and Stiteses. The Taylors, Steelmans and others came to Cape May from settlements on the Delaware River.” Following is an amalgamated alphabetized list composed from the previous sources of Chevaux de Frize, Government Service and Delaware River and Bay Pilots who served during the war years as well as, pilots named in the 1774 Tax List for Philadelphia County and mentioned in Philadelphia newspapers between 1775 and 1783:

Partial List of Officers and Men of the Ship Boston (January 1778)

The following list, dated January 1778 and granting power of attorney as prize agent to Major Richard Reed begins “We the Subscribers, officer as well as Seaman belonging to the Ship Boston Commanded by Samuel Tucker, Esq.,” is transcribed from two Revolutionary War pension documents. The list appears in different formats in the pension applications of both William Goss, Jr’s widow Susannah (aka Susan) #R-4148 and the widow of Midshipman Philip Follett, Sarah Smith Follett Reynolds #W-24751. The differences in each, particularly in spelling and notations of rate or quality on the vessel, indicate both are imperfect transcriptions of the original. Other documents in Sarah Reynolds’ pension application indicate signee Benjamin Reed was one of the frigate Boston’s Lieutenants, as well as, Follett’s uncle and also identifies William Jennison as Lieutenant of Marines. Susan Goss’ application indicates John Goss and William Goss, Jr. were brothers and that William Goss, Jr was raised by the ship’s Pilot, his grandfather. This list was drafted just one month prior to the frigate Boston’s cruise conveying John Adams and his son John Quincy to France. The vessel returned to Portsmouth, NH on 15 October 1778.

Roll of Men on Frigate Deane’s Last Cruise under Nicholson (May 1782)

The following list of 302 officers and men of the Continental Navy frigate Deane’s last cruise under Captain Samuel Nicholson and before she was renamed Hague was compiled from the 17 volume collection of “Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War. A Compilation from the Archives” first published by the Massachusetts Office of the Secretary of State between 1896 and 1908. The collection is available online with digital recognition through the auspices of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and is also accessible through Ancestry.com. The roll has been arranged according to rate or quality on board the vessel and includes all those who services were commenced in early November 1781 and completed with the discharge of her crew on 31 May 1782. Ordered to sea on a cruise to the West Indies in February 1782, the vessel left Boston on 10 March and returned nine weeks later on 17 May 1782. During that time she took the unarmed merchant ship Mary bound from Belfast to Barbados with a cargo of provisions and dry goods on 9 April. Two days later, the 32-gun frigate Deane captured the 14-gun HMS Jackal and her crew of 52 under the command of Royal Navy Lieutenant Gustavus Logie before the cutter could run under the cover of Barbados. Some claim the Jackal was the last British warship to surrender to a Continental Navy vessel. On 4 May 1782, the Deane captured the 14-gun privateer brig Swallow operating out of Bermuda and also retook the North Carolina brig Elizabeth bound from that state to St. Thomas. After capturing the 18-gun privateer ship Regulator and her crew of 75 men on 10 May 1782, frigate Deane sailed home to Boston with her recent prizes and her decks filled with prisoners and sick crewmen.

Roll of Men on the Frigate Hague’s Final Cruise (May 1783)

The following list of 255 of officers and men of the Continental Navy frigate Hague’s final cruise was compiled from the 17 volume collection of “Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War. A Compilation from the Archives” first published by the Massachusetts Office of the Secretary of State between 1896 and 1908. The collection is available online with digital recognition through the auspices of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and is also accessible through Ancestry.com. The roll has been arranged according to rate or quality on board the vessel if identified in the records and includes all those who services were paid off on 10 May 1783. Some select few were paid for service after that date to as late as August 1783. Those whose service is noted to have ended prior to 10 May 1783 are assumed to have died in service on the date noted and their service paid off although each case has not been individually confirmed. Those whose rate or quality was not identified in the records have been listed last and noted as unidentified. There may also have been supernumeraries or volunteers whose presence on the vessel was not included in the pay receipts noted in the archives.

Officers and Men of the Frigate Hague (1782-5/10/1783)

The following alphabetical list of 256 officers and men of the Continental Navy frigate Hague commanded by John Manley, formerly known as the frigate Deane, was compiled from the 17 volume collection of “Massachusetts Soldiers and Sailors of the Revolutionary War. A Compilation from the Archives” first published by the Massachusetts Office of the Secretary of State between 1896 and 1908. The collection is available online with digital recognition through the auspices of the University of Massachusetts at Amherst and is also accessible through Ancestry.com. However, both of these viewing vehicles are cumbersome when searching for the entire crew of a particular vessel. Some time ago, I stumbled on the 12 February 2011 blog “The Crew of the Two Ships Called Deane” on Dennis Segelquist’s always interesting website “Civil War Days & Those Surnames”. Mr. Segelquist included names representing crews from both the Continental frigate Deane and the private armed ship of the same name, commanded by Elisha Hinman. He didn’t segregate the crews of the two vessels “as this would take way too long.” In order to provide an easily re-searchable list of the officers and men of the Continental Navy frigate Deane, I have taken that time to re-examine each of the 17 volumes. In the process, I was inspired to also examine the collection with an eye to generating an equally easy searchable list of the officers and men of the renamed Continental Navy frigate Hague. As Segelquist correctly noted, “These records are badly written and there are a lot of miss-spellings”, errors accentuated by the digital recognition software that is used to transcribe them. I have done my best but I’m certain some errors appear despite my concentrated efforts. Finally, where the individual previously served on the vessel formerly known as the Deane, I have included that service also. The reference volume and page numbers have been added in parentheses for each individual listing for ease in using the collection.
