Thomas Bale

It is clear from Thomas Bales' will, dated November 17th, 1671, that he retained his connections with the Spanish and probably the Canry wine trade.

In this will, Bale mentions debts due to him from two merchants in Cadiz. His will is made anticipating imminent death ("now weak in Bodie") in the port of Sally, on the Barbary coast. It is not clear whether Bale died in Sally, since there is a five year gap until the date of probate in February 1676 (modern dating).

This connection with the Barbary coast is apparent in Thomas Bale's deposition in HCA 13/72 above, made in July 1658, in which he mentions being a factor for the London merchant Thomas Warren at the port of Saphia, which was also on the North African coast.

Thomas Warren

William Warren

In his will, dated 1676, Thomas Bale, merchant, appointed "Mr William Warren in Lime=street of London Merchant" as his sole Executor. ^[1]

- Not to be confused with Sir William Warren, timber merchant, based in Wapping, who was a commercial partner with Sir John Shorter in Baltic trade

- Inspection of PROB 11/450/427 does not confirm or disprove the theory that this the will of Thomas Bale's sole executor, with whom he had commercial links in the 1650s, and no doubt later
