The Spy began service early in October, and promptly brought in the navy's first prize, a British supply ship. Minerva began service on October 9, with orders to capture transports bound for Quebec. However, most of the crew refused to obey Hall's orders, and she returned to port. The mutinous crew was dismissed, and in December Hall was ordered to return the ship to its owner. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Connecticut_State_Navy [S3972] Ancestry.com, Connecticut, U.S., Marriage Index, 1620-1926, (Name: Ancestry.com Operations, Inc.; Location: Lehi, UT ; Date: 2016;).
