P_10433_1205 – Thomas Carey or Cary
Co-owner of a slaving voyage from London with unknown outcome in 1711. Thomas Carey [sic] was co-owner with Peter Paggen (q.v.) and Isaac Milner (q.v.) of a privateer, Sommers, in 1712. Tho. Cary was among the merchants to Virginia and Maryland petitioning in 1702, alongside George Hatley, one of the executors under the 1716 will of Thomas Cary. If the investor is this Thomas Cary of the 1716 will, as seems likely, then he built Roehampton House.
