Are there surviving records of the Revolutionary War era naval agents? I understand those at New London were destroyed but believe they should be extent for other ports.

Hi Bryna,
I'd also suggest reaching out to the Naval History and Heritage Command- their archives staff might have some excellent recommendations for sources, as well: https://www.history.navy.mil/research/archives/about-the-navy-archives.html
The resource guide Manuscript sources in the Library of Congress for research on the American Revolution, compiled by John R. Sellers and available on HathiTrust, might also help direct you to some related resources. Feel free to send us an Ask A Librarian if anything strikes your fancy in there!
