The following partial list of 11 Officers and Crew of the ship Ranger 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 and presumably the date of release from confinement.

Partial list of the Officers and Crew of the brig Reprisal compiled from “Statement of Claims”

Posted on April 15, 2023 by Joe

The following partial list of 13 Officers and Crew of the brig Reprisal 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). The claimants paid off to 1 October 1777 represent the last crew of the Reprisal prior to her loss off the banks of Newfoundland with all 129 hands on board except the cook. Jonathan Williams, a relative of Benjamin Franklin wrote to the American Commissioners in France, “…a man arrived in a french Vessell from the Banks who called himself the Steward of the Reprisal, and said that when the Ship foundered he saved himself by the gang Ladder which supported him, ‘till french Vessell took him.” Each man’s rate, date the claim was adjusted to and amount of claim is noted. Apparently, prize monies due the men were issued posthumously on 1 January 1778.  A second simplified and alphabetized list follows for ease of internet browsing.
