Born: Unknown
Died: Unknown

William Lone, London tobacco merchant (fl. 1700-12), co-owner of seven slaving voyages from London between 1700 and 1708. A man of the same name had a voyage as a slave-ship captain in 1709, which appears anomalous. He was among the Virginia and Maryland merchant petitioners in 1702; and a man of this name was bankrupt by 1712.
