  • ↑ Jacobus Man. Probably James Man, London merchant, who in 1666 was resident on the "east Side" of Mark Lane in the parish All Hallows, Barking in a house of ten hearths. In his will, written in 1668, he stated he was "att present of the parish of Mortlake in the County of Surrey," but also mentioned "the Lease of my house scituate in Mark Lane London wherein I did lately dwell and now is in the occupation of George Boddington which I hold by Lease of the Right worshipfull Company of Drapers in London of which Company I am a member." James Man traded in a number of geographies, including Turkey, Livorno, and Jamaica. Two of his sons, James and George Man, were located in Livorno and presumably served him there as factors. At the time of writing his will, in 1668, his Jamaica based son John Man was deceased. Another son, Francis Man, went out to Jamaica at some stage, where he wrote his own will in 1674, in which he referred to extensive investments in Jamaican plantation land. Until the discovery of this HCA deposition nothing had been known about James Man's trading activities ( PROB 11/335 Duke 1-53 Will of James Man of Mortlake, Surrey 02 March 1671
  • ↑ S:r Jacob Garrad. Sir Jacob Garrad (b. ?, d. ca. 1666), of West Ham, Essex (PROB 11/322 Mico 139-184 Will of Sir Jacob Garrad of West Ham, Essex 03 November 1666)
  • ↑ M:r Bagnall. Just possibly John Bignell (alias Bagnell) (b. ?, d. ca. 1688), of St Michael Crooked Lane (PROB 11/389 Foot 133-172 Sentence of John Bignell of Saint Michael Crooked Lane, City of London 18 June 1687)
