I was hoping to post a photo with the original text, but the information is as follows.
David Franklin was a sea captain, commanding the sloop, GEORGE Muster roll of the Sloop on November 15th 1725 as follows:
Captain David Franklin, master and pilot
Joel Smith, mate
Anthony Baker, seaman
Peter Perry, seaman
John Gravel, seaman
John McFerdis, seaman
The sloop about 60tons with 4-guns
Massachusetts Archive 91: 199-200
Any information you could provide would be greatly appreciated

May want to try the Peabody Museum in Salem. I looked for some MA customs records, but nothing going back that far.
