 Age:   26
 Origin:   West Indies

 Duration (mths):   2.8
 Year:   1746
 Wage (£Mass):   40
 Wage (£Sterling):   6.22

 Shipowner(s):   Orne Family
 Sources:   Orne, b1/f1
 Notes:   Schooner Betty & Molly, Thomas Morong, master. Ranks were not given. I have guessed at them from the wages and the order in which the mariners were listed. A previous portledge recorded the voyage out from Salem but only five mariners names were listed in the bill. See portledge bill from the Orne files b1/f9. That voyage shipped its crew in early September of 1746.
