| Notes: | Schooner Betsy, John Hodges, master. His rank was not stated. I have assumed it from the wage. There were two portledge bills. The later one showed that a Nicholas Lander had signed on the vessel in December, likely while it was in the West Indies. He received a lower wage than the other mariners. His surname could also have been Bowden, but I suspect that it was actually Bruden. |
