Quaker was captured in 1780 and condemned in the Vice admiralty court in New York on 11 October 1780.

In January 1782 Lloyd's List (LL) reported that Quaker, Dwyer, master, had taken a valuable Spanish prize and taken her into Antigua.

Quaker, Evans, master, was reported to have captured a rebel (American) privateer of 13 guns while on his way to Newfoundland from Liverpool.

The two vessels exchanged a broadside, and then Quaker outsailed the frigate, escaping to Newfoundland after a 12-hour chase.

[6] In February 1783 Lloyd's List reported that Quaker, Evans, master, of Liverpool had taken and sent into Tortola a French letter of marque brig that had been sailing from Martinique to France.

The brig was carrying a cargo of coffee, sugar, and cocoa believed to be worth £10,000.
