Lloyd's List reported in November 1783 that Tonyn, Welch, master, had been lost on the bar at Saint Augustine, Florida. She had been on a voyage from Charles Town, South Carolina, to Saint Augustine and London.[2] The LR volume for 1783 carried the annotation "Lost" by her name.
This Tonyn may have been a replacement for a Tonyn, also of 200 tons (bm), that Thomas Moss had lost the year before to capture.
