         Compiled from Papers in the Land Office of Maryland by Philip D.
     Laird, 1896, and presented by him to the Maryland Historical Society.
         It is compiled alphabetically from four Accounts of Seamen's
     Wages,-one from September 12, 1776, to August 15, 1777; one
     from August 15 to October 15, 1777; one from October 15 to
     November 15, 1777; one from November 15 to December 31, 1777-
     and from a List of Officers and Men, without date, which is manifestly
     prior to the dates of the pay accounts. The names in the list, where
     they are in addition to those in the pay accounts, are indicated by the
     mark +. The letter B., in the margin, indicates those who received
     bounty, the information being derived from two accounts of "Bounties
     paid by the Ship Defence," amounting, in the aggregate, to £630.
     The time of service is not given in all cases, in the pay accounts, and
     in a number of instances the rank is omitted. As far as possible dates
     of promotion are given.
