The Southern Campaign American Revolution Pension Statements & Rosters (W22231) states that George T Sloan "was pensioned at the rate of $56.66 per annum commencing March 4th, 1831, for 11 months & 10 days service in the South Carolina Navy as a Sergeant & mariner on the frigate Trumbull." Can he be added to the crew?
Regards,
Linda Lacy.

Review of Revolutionary War Pension and Bounty-Land Application Files 1800-1900 showed Jacob Bamper (b. 1757) served as a midshipman on the Trumbull, embarking from Philadelphia on the cruise during which Trumbull was taken by the Iris. Can Jacob Bamper be included as crew of this vessel?

Nicholson, or any of his commissioned officers" with their opinion, "That everything possible was done for the honor of the flag of the United States.
