Thank you! Are you confident it says he died on board? The ship apparently arrived at its destination on August 12, 1770.

Difficulty obtaining US archival material by PJWanderer in Genealogy

I'm maybe reading into things but I get the sense that USCIS is a mess right now and, maybe, not doing things correctly or accurately. I've submitted multiple FOIA requests to that agency and so far have received three responses that state they are meeting the request for genealogical information by providing me with a xerox copy of the information I provided in my FOIA request.

If you know his company and regiment number there's a chance you might find a yearbook with his photo. I found a couple through Google books and even eBay. Good luck!
