Editor's Note: The following text has been transcribed as it appears in the Pennsylvania Archives. With few exceptions the spelling and context of the information is related exactly as it appears in the 1897 edition. To that end, many errors and inconsistencies were found, and where appropriate these errors were corrected (ie. the year 1888 being changed to 1777.) Where multiple spellings for someone's name was encountered, rather than correct the spelling, the alternate spelling was included in the listing in parenthesis. It should also be noted that many names appear on multiple muster rolls throughout the fleet. Lastly, the editor of the 1897 publication made it clear that these muster rolls are by no means complete. ~ Damian Siekonic, Editor, June 25, 2006.

Stopt under the pretence of having lent Ellis money. James Duggan discharged for being a servant. July 21 returned on muster rill as absent and a month's pay due. John Adams returned as sick July 27, in July roll, and continued so in August roll; was discharged ye 1st Sept. and pay paid up to 1st Sept., and Adams only paid to August 1, amount to be refunded £2 10 0. Note - Adams says he got leave to come up in Mr. Hennessey's absence. Hennessey seeing him in town was very angry with him, ordered him to get another man in his room, that he would not keep him any longer in the service. Adams complied. It has several times happened in the fleet, when an officer took offence at a man, he ordered him on shore to get another in his place, the exchange generally turned out for the worse. Daniel Stewartt set down in the Book as discharged Sept. 20, when in fact he was discharged on the 20th of August, being a servant and no pay given him for that month, and 20 days pay paid Mr. Hennessey in July when Steward acted as carpenter's mate.
