P_10433_0981 – Thomas Nichols
‘Thomas Nichols’ was a co-owner of a slaving voyage by the Donegal from London to Africa and Jamaica alongside established London independent slave-traders in 1698. Pettigrew shows a Thomas Nicholls as a director of the Royal African Co., and a man of the same name as an independent slave-trader: other secondary sources show a Thomas Nichols or Nicholls as a supplier to the Royal African Co. The will of Thomas Nicolls merchant of Highgate proved in 1706 offers no direct evidence of a connection. A Thomas Nichols was Attorney-General in Jamaica from 1692.
