[Simon] Tonison Bleau [Spelling of "Tonison" is unclear]

A Dutch boy, purportedly from Amsterdam. His identity and character were highly disputed amongst deponents in the English Admiralty Court case concerning the ship the Hope (1659).

A generous interpretation of the data suggests that Simon Tonison Bleau was a seventeen year old Dutch boy, at the time of the Admiralty Court case (early 1659) which dealt with the Dutch built, and Anglo-Dutch owned ship, the Hope, on an illegal trading voyage to the Spanish West Indies.

Tonison Bleau himself claimed to have been duped by a Scotchman in Amsterdam, who took him to a tavern, at the age of twelve, where he allegedly got him drunk and whisked him off to the Spanish West Indies.

A real sob story:

"somewhat
above five yeeres since, a Scotch man at Amsterdam enquiring for
a house which this deponent knew, got this deponent upon promise of rewarding
him to show it him, which this deponent did, and therein (being a victualling
house) the said Scotchman made much of this deponent and gave him soe
much brandewine, wine and beere that hee made this deponent quite drunck,
and being soe, caused this deponent to be carried aboard a shipp, wherein
hee saith hee was carried first to Tobago neere Barbados, thence this deponent was carried to
Trinidad, and thence to Margarita, thence to Comanagat[XC], and soe
to Comana, where at last hee met with the said shipp hope, and cannot
write or reade"

[Deposition of Simon To[?m]son Bleau of Amsterdam Sailor, aged seaventeene
yeares, [[HCA 13/73 f.139r Annotate#head-7792b396c165940a2ef3372031f6dbb64b71233e|HCA 13/73 f.139r]

Patrick Betts, the Irish born Master of the Hope, gave an alternative characterisation in his own deposition to the English Admiralty Court. Betts described the transformation from a desperate boy, "almost starved, and eaten up with mosquitoes, and lice", to one who "became a very Lewd, wicked swearing fellowe", who was "given much to lying stealing and pilfering and the like."

Betts advised the Court that Bleau's testimony was of no credit, and that "the said To[?n]ison Bleau oftentimes [would] threaten that hee would be the Death of them that Corrected him". Betts reported a conversation between himself and Bleau in Dutch, that Bleau intended to kill three of the Hope's company, who had corrected him on board ship for alleged misdemeanours. Betts reported Bleau to have told him, that:

"In regard hee could not kill those rougues
(meaning three of the said ships Company) hee would bee
revenged of them in another Kind, for hee would Informe
and sweare that the ship and goods belonged to Spaniards though
the Divell fetched him for it, and doe them all the mischeife
that ever hee could to be revenged of them, or to that effect, And
further hee cannot depose, saving the said Tonison Bleau would
Bragg and say in the voyage that hee had robbed his ffather and mother
of all their monyes, and came away from them, and sold himselfe
to the west India Company of Zealand to goe to the west Indias"

[HCA 13/72 f.194r]

A lively Twitter discussion took place in response to the Twitter postings of the transcriber of this case [Colin Greenstreet].

The characterisation by the the transcriber of Tonison Bleau as "a poor Dutch boy", who had been abducted by a malevolent Scotchman, met with some (in retrospect) rightful questioning from Dr Joane Bailey of Oxford Brookes University, who suggested that Tonison Bleau was more likely a disaffected indentured servant.

John Paige [alt. Page]

Born c.1627; married. pre-1652; died. c.1690

London merchant, but born in Stoke Fleming in Devon. Married Katherin Painter, the daghter of his Master, Gowen Painter.

G.F. Steckley states that Paige served as an aprentice to Painter in Tenerife, from circa 1642. By late 1648 Paige was resident in London, where he acted as London wholesaler for Painter's Canary wine exports to London.

G.F. Steckley has published John Paige's commercial correspondence for the years 1648 to 1658.^[1]

Gowen Painter [alt. Paynter]

Born c. ?; married. ?; died c.1661

London merchant, formerly resident in Teneriff, but expelled due to Anglo-Spanish war in 1650s and returned to London. Living with his son-in-law, the London merchant, John Paige [alt. Page]. Like John Paige, Gowen Painter was born in the West Country in England.

Gowen Painter and John Paige are frequently mentioned in English Admiralty Court records in the 1657-59 period, both for trade from London to the Canary Islands, and form London to the Spanish West Indies.^[2]

G.F. Steckley has published the letters of the son-in-law, John Paige, for the years 1648 to 1658, drawing on a Master's exhibit in Chancery, of which Paige's letters were part (C. 105/12). Steckley remarks in his introduction that the remainder of this Master's exhibit includes accounts, invoices, bills of lading, and letters, written by Gowen Paynter.^[3]]]
