Abstract & context


Thomas Blackerby wrote to Sir George Oxenden in a letter dated March 21st, 1662/63. It was sent from London

In the letter, Blackerby XXXXX

Thomas Blackerby (b. ca. 1612, d. 1688) was a London merchant and skinner. At the time of writing to Sir George Oxenden he was about fifty years of age.

He was the son of John Blackerby of Worlington, Suffolk, and married to Susan Cheyney of London.[1]


In a fairly long commercial career, he was involved in trade with the East Indies and quite possibly with the Levant. There are also traces of involvement in the Guinea trade, standing as security for a Guinea factor in July 1661.[2]

In surviving documentation Blackerby appears associated commercially with William Methwold both in the early 1650s, and Thomas Methwold in the early 1670s.[3] He also appears associated with Barnaby Bowtell in November 1658, standing jointly as security with Barnaby Bowtell for Beaumont Bowtell.[4] The Blackerby and Bowtell families appears to have been related by marriage.[5]

He was made a London alderman in October 1666 for Vintry, and was master of the Skinners in 1668.[6] He was High Sherriff of Suffolk in 1669.[7]

He had property at or near Stowmarket in Suffolk, from whence he sent a second letter to Sir George Oxenden in March 1666/67.[8] He is reported to have been resident from some time after 1666 at Columbyne Hall of Stowupland, also known as Pawnsey Hall, though this has not been confirmed. Columbyne Hall lay a mile to the North-East of Stowmarket.[9]

At his death, Blackerby described himself as "Thomas Blackerby XXXX of Stowmarket XXXX." He left an extensive will.[10]

It is probable that Thomas Blackerby was related to Richard Blackerby (b. 1574, d. ?) of Werlington (alias Worlington), Suffolk. Richard Blaclerby was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge, and was a non-conformist preacher in Essex and Suffolk.[11] In the British Library there is a grant of arms and crest to "Thomas Blackerby of Shakerland Hall" made by Sir Edward Bysshe, Clarenceux 10 June 1664.[12]

(3) Explore whether Thomas Blackerby, George Smith & William Vincent were all part owners of the Three Brothers, together with William Cockaigne et al.?[14]

(4) Explore whether Thomas Blackerby associated with the Levant as well as the East India trade? He associated with the Barnardiston family, who had Levant links

(5) Explore any evidence of non-conformity by Thomas Blackerby (e.g. vicarage of Stowmarket at his behest)

Barnardiston/Blackerby family connection


According to a modern web based genealogical source , Elizabeth Barnardiston (b. 1658), second daughter of Nathaniel Barnardiston of Hackney, married as his first wife Samuel Blackerby of Gray's Inn, Middlesex, on February 11th, 1678, at St. Stephen, Coleman Street. One of their daughters, Anne Blackerby (b. 1684), married her cousin, the London merchant Samuel Barnardiston (b. 1675, d. 1725). He was a son of Arthur Barnardiston of London and Hoxton, Middlesex.[35]



Blackerby non-conformity


"The living of Stowmarket was in the presentation of Mr. Blackerby, who was subsequently a nonconformist of repute, and with several of whose name and family transactions appear in Mr. Meadows's papers. The incumbents, therefore, of Stowmarket might be expected to be of a class obnoxious to the new order of things. In fact, we find that Mr. Blackerby had, after the restoration, but before the passing of the Act of Uniformity, presented Mr. John Storer, who was M.A. and episcopally ordained, but accepted the living on condition that it was nit to be considered as an acquiescence in any terms which the court might eventually impose in relation to conformity, and to which his conscience might object: accordingly, on the determination being shown to refuse concession and to pass the Bartholomew Act, Mr. Storer resolved to withhold compliance; in fact he resigned his living before the statute actually passed, his main ground of refusal being his objection to disclaim the Covenant."[36]
