I have a copy of some Muster Rolls for one of mine and it states he was the 'Captain of the Main Top'. Can anybody shed any light on it. Also, does anybody know what 'when muftered' means? It appears on the top of the sheet and there are various months ticked Thanks

Dear Jan I think its an old way of saying mustered - perhaps times when he was on duty. best wishes Maria

Hi Jan, the f is probably an old fashion s so when mustered would be correct.
