'Guernsey and The Slave Trade', <a href="http://www.museums.gov.gg/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=121583&p=0">http://www.museums.gov.gg/CHttpHandler.ashx?id=121583&p=0</a> [accessed 29/04/2022] shows a group of Guernsey men as the owners of the Anne Galley: 'In January 1741 the Anne Galley, a 135-ton snow registered in Guernsey and owned by P. and N. Dobrée, W.
H. and J. Brock, Daniel Falla and P. Stephens left London on a voyage to West Africa. She was armed with 14 guns and had 30 crewmen. The main backer of the voyage was Morgan Vaughan. Of the 293 slaves loaded in West Africa only 239 survived the passage to the West Indies. This voyage clearly had some problems as the master, Thomas Ebworthy, was sued by one of the
share holders, Pierre Dobreé for the net proceeds of the Negroes he had “mistakenly” sold in Barbados. Dobreé claimed that he had misappropriated the money from the sale of eight slaves; he then enlarged his claim to cover the delivery of 25 elephant tusks and a piece of camwood. Ebsworthy counter-claimed against the owners for a butt of rum. However it did his career no harm as Ebsworthy went on to command at least two more slaving ventures out of Bristol. Nicholas Dobree maintained connections with other members of the family in
London and in Nantes. Nantes was a centre for the slave trade in France.' The article is unreferenced but appears to draw on Doug Ford, ‘A Respectable Trade or Against Human Dignity’ published in the Jersey Heritage Trust Heritage Magazine 2006.
