APPENDICES ACCOUNTBOOK OF JOHN MANLEY,DEPUTY CONTINENTAL AGENT AT NEWPORT1 [Ex tract] [Until the British occupation in December 1776, Newport harbor was extensively used by vessels of the Continental Navy. There John Manley (not to be confused with the Naval captain of the same name) had the responsibility for refitting them. His 1776 account book, which includes the Alfred, Cabot, Columbus, Hampden, sloop Providence and the new Rhode Island- built frigates Warren and Providence, is a highly informative document. Manley's accounts with Alfred and Warren have been extracted to form this appendix. They are illustrative of the wide range of services rendered to the ships by the Deputy Continental Agent.] 1776 Ship Warren Dr Now 14 To Standfast Wyat Carting a Cable to Brindleys . .6. .- To Brindle~for amount of his bill p;t on board this day from Block Island 77 Cheeses 991 Ib ..- ..- To cash pd Carting oat meal & Slops to the point . .3. .- 19 To Wm Langley his bill for boards S2. .O. .4 Jacob Richardson Do 11 for John Truman 17. .6 2.17.10 Do a Second bill 417% Carpenter 4. .7% 20 To Cash pd Jeremiah Coleman Sailor £2. .8. .- To Do John Kelley a Mareen advance wages 2. .-. .- 4. .8. .- 6 Scains Twine from the Store that was --- sent for Collumbuss dld Gunner To Cash pd for 2 oz Borax at 51 i 10. .- To Do paid for making a White flag & pendant 1. .-. .- 21 To Barth Burke for 2 ps Linnen for Signal Colours 11.12. .6 22 To Cash pd for 20 lb of Mutton @. 4d for Cabbin 6. .8 To Do to Newport the Negro for a Chest Lock 5. .- To Peter Philips 12 fine Twine to make up small arm Carbidges & Deld to 2. .2. .- Mr Brewer the Gunner 23 To Wm Langley his second bill £2.11.10 To Sam1 Bows Do 16. .- To Self 1 pr polished Steel Snuffers 4. .4.10 " 1 Large spring bell :I] 17. .- " 2 Brass bell pulleys 2- 1 To Stephen Ayrault his bill 11. .3% To Cash paid for 2 lb Mop yarn dld the Gunner 6. .- } 7. .9. .1* 24 To Caleb Green for 4 Cord wood @ 321 £6. .8. .- " Cordage Wharfage 1/ p Cord 4. .- APPENDICES 1776 Ship Warren [Novr] 25 To 20 bushells of Sand 1210 T: To Cash pd Newport Cominodors Waiter 1 pr shoes 27 To Do Mutton 11 lb @ 4 d To Thos Arnold for 36 old Pewter &c 14d/% To Cash pd Southwick for 4 qr of paper for small arm Cartridges To 4 bolts Russia Duck from my house To Gideon Sisson his bill for stores To Benj n Stevens 5% Cord wood @ 301 Cordage of Do. 29 To 46% ~dsof flannel1 @ 5/d I pd Cash for Decemr 2 To Cash 2 bbls Philadelphia flour No13. 2.0. 5 Nt @33/ No25. 2.0.17 I Carting of Ditto Do To Breakfasts of 10 Men that come a schoner . was Detain'd by a Violent Wind at Mrs Battys p order of Saml Shaw Midshipman Do of 8 men p order of the Commodore that on shore & could not get on board 3 James Christian his bill for Cabbin stores Cash pd for 1 Sausepan 1316 1 Ladle 2/ dld James Brewer Gunner I To Edwd Perry Butcher his bill to Decemr 3d 1 Carried over To amount brought Over Decr 4 To Humpfrys a Muster Dead belong'g on board said Ship pd Constant Bailey for a Coffin for him 18- Do Geo: English for diging a Grave 6- Do for 2 men to go up to the hospital ) 6- and put him in his Coffin I Do hire of a Carriage to bring him 4- from Hospital to the Grave Cash vizt I 6 To 3 ps Flannel1 123% y+ @ 5/ I pd for 2 New Hammocks belonging to Tents 4 bbls Flour Neat 8.0.16 @ 331 13. .8. .7 Carting of Do @ 6d p bb1 2. .- 1 spare Calf Skin Drum head To Standfast Wyat Carting Cordage &c " Job Cornell 1 New Drum " John Goddard for his ferry boat Carryg off Wood & provisions to the Ship To 2 hhds White beans 25 bushells GJ 716 2 hhds for D;

  • Sea Captains Carousing in Surinam by Robert W. Kenny* Rhode Island

    Sea Captains Carousing in Surinam by Robert W. Kenny* Rhode Island

    Sea Captains Carousing in Surinam by John Greenwood, 1755 Courtesy The St. Louis Museum of Art Sea Captains Carousing in Surinam by Robert W. Kenny* Rhode Island History, 36:4 (November 1977), pp 107-117. Digitally re-presented from .pdf available on-line courtesy of the RI Historical Society at: http://www.rihs.org/assetts/files/publications/1977_Nov.pdf In 1948 the City Art Museum of St. Louis purchased the painting Sea Captains Carousing in Surinam. Removal of that canvas from Rhode Island to the Midwest was a source of regret to some and perhaps relief to other citizens, for artist John Greenwood had captured for posterity a memorable bacchanalia of Rhode Islanders who — by the long arm of coincidence — found themselves in port in the Dutch colony of Surinam sometime during the late 1750s. Most participants in that gala would later hold prominent positions in the civil and military history of His Majesty's colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations and during the American Revolution. Identification of the revelers is part of the tradition of the Jenckeses, a family distinguished in the life of Rhode Island for generations. Until its sale to the City Art Museum, that picture had always been in the possession of John Jenckes' descendents, who sold it with great reluctance. Aside from its value as a work of art, associational interest makes Sea Captain Carousing in Surinam a provocative study. It is the purpose of this paper to examine if it were possible or probable that all or some Newport and Providence merchants and mariners, traditionally identified, could have been in Surinam at the time Greenwood depicted them in such Hogarthian attitudes.

L To the Men of Kittery who gave their lives on land and sea, in battle or in prison, from 1775 to 1783, that this country might be free, and that their example may speak to com- ing generations, this volume is respectfully inscribed. By Lieut. OLIVER P. REMICK, Engineer Corps, U. S. Revenue Cutter Service. Member of the Maine Historical Society and the Maine Genealogical Society. PREFACE. Kittery, at the commencement of the war for Independence, was composed of the present towns of Kittery and Eliot, and this record takes in the soldiers and sailors of both towns ; but Eliot's soldiers are not mentioned as such in their individual records, but one can tell by the parish or militia company residence of the man, in which town as now constituted he lived ; whenever the word "town" occurs in the following pages, it refers to and means the old town of Kittery as it was in 1775. The town at that time was divided into three parishes, viz., first, or lower ; second, or upper ; and third, or middle. The first parish was that part of the town south of a line, commencing at Ports- mouth Ferry, near the old Rice House, and running north fifty-four degrees east, to the town of York.

    HJ 14 Department of Legislative Services Maryland General Assembly 2010 Session FISCAL AND POLICY NOTE Revised House Joint Resolution 14 (Delegate Walkup) Rules and Executive Nominations Recognition of Captain Lambert Wickes of Maryland - Revolutionary War Naval Hero This joint resolution requests the Maryland General Assembly to recognize the role of Captain Lambert Wickes of Maryland in the successful outcome of the American Revolutionary War. The State must partner with the United States Navy to develop and conduct an appropriate memorial event on the grounds of the United States Naval Academy annually on October 1 to honor the service and sacrifice of Captain Lambert Wickes. Fiscal Summary State Effect: Conducting a memorial event for Captain Lambert Wickes will not affect State finances. Local Effect: None. Small Business Effect: None. Analysis Background: Lambert Wickes was born around 1742 in Kent County, Maryland. During the Revolutionary War, Wickes was appointed as the captain of the 16-gun Reprisal and listed as the eleventh in seniority in the Continental Navy. In October 1776 Wickes was selected to transport Benjamin Franklin to France on a secret mission. Through this mission, Wickes became the first Continental Navy Officer to enter European waters and the Reprisal was the first American warship to base operations in Europe, capturing and destroying 14 ships in five days. On the ships return voyage to the United States, the Reprisal sunk in the Atlantic Ocean during a violent storm. Wickes, along with the men onboard the Reprisal perished. Only one member of the ship’s crew survived. Despite his contributions to the Continental Navy, Wickes did not receive a military burial, or a State or national commemoration for his sacrifice.

LEAMON T he Search for Security Maine after Penobscot The Penobscot campaign of 1779 made little impact on the military outcome of the American Revolution. The focus of military action was shifting to the southern states when the British seized Bagaduce (Castine) at the mouth of the Penobscot River and defeated the expedition dispatched by Massachusetts to drive them out.1 For people in the District of Maine, however, the Penobscot defeat represented a calamity of the first order. During the rest of the war, they had to contend with a garrison of regular British troops in their midst. To Bagaduce flocked loyalists who, with a vigor sharpened by vengeance, joined the regulars in plundering the coast. Active loyalist participation injected a new note of personal vindictiveness in what now became a civil war. Amid internal dissension and a growing sense of isolation and despair, unified defense collapsed throughout the District.

    MARTIN'S BENCH AND BAR OF PHILADELPHIA Together with other Lists of persons appointed to Administer the Laws in the City and County of Philadelphia, and the Province and Commonwealth of Pennsylvania BY , JOHN HILL MARTIN OF THE PHILADELPHIA BAR OF C PHILADELPHIA KKKS WELSH & CO., PUBLISHERS No. 19 South Ninth Street 1883 Entered according to the Act of Congress, On the 12th day of March, in the year 1883, BY JOHN HILL MARTIN, In the Office of the Librarian of Congress, at Washington, D. C. W. H. PILE, PRINTER, No. 422 Walnut Street, Philadelphia. Stack Annex 5 PREFACE. IT has been no part of my intention in compiling these lists entitled "The Bench and Bar of Philadelphia," to give a history of the organization of the Courts, but merely names of Judges, with dates of their commissions; Lawyers and dates of their ad- mission, and lists of other persons connected with the administra- tion of the Laws in this City and County, and in the Province and Commonwealth. Some necessary information and notes have been added to a few of the lists. And in addition it may not be out of place here to state that Courts of Justice, in what is now the Com- monwealth of Pennsylvania, were first established by the Swedes, in 1642, at New Gottenburg, nowTinicum, by Governor John Printz, who was instructed to decide all controversies according to the laws, customs and usages of Sweden. What Courts he established and what the modes of procedure therein, can only be conjectur- ed by what subsequently occurred, and by the record of Upland Court.

He was right: research and facts cannot replace wisdom and truth. This is why budding historians need help—and lots of it—to combine their research and their ideas into an original thesis that hopefully grasps at the smallest bit of wisdom and truth. The kind and knowledgeable staff members of the New Hampshire State Archives deserve my ultimate praise and appreciation for their help with this project. I especially valued the advice and guidance I received from my many conversations with State Archivist Dr. Frank Mevers, whose willingness to help was unwavering. Brian Nelson and Benoit Shoja were generous with their time and patience when I needed help finding a source or could not decipher the eighteenth century script. The staff at the New Hampshire Historical Society, and particularly Bill Copeley, was repeatedly helpful during my frequent trips.
