P_10433_1209 – Peter Cabibel
Peter Cabibel and Stephen Cabibel (q.v.) were among the four co-owners of a slaving voyage from London by the Mary in 1712, with an unknown outcome. Peter Cabibel was a Huguenot silk merchant in partnership with Daniel Baromeau [sp?] at the time he made his will. Although the slave voyage might appear as an opportunistic (and probably unsuccessful) speculation by Cabibel, he was also involved in the slave-economy in St Kitts, petitioning the Council of Trade and Plantations with his then partner Daniel Soulegre in 1717 after their ‘ruin’ by the French invasion in 1705 for the confirmation of two plantations granted to them by Daniel Smith and Lt-General Mathew, which they had ‘improved with great cost.’

The will of Peter Cabibel the elder merchant living in Walbrook was made 09/04/1744. He asked to be buried in the churchyard in the parish of Walbrook despite leaving £25 to the French Church of St Martin Orgar 'of which I am a member.' He also left £25 to the Society of Upper Languedoc; £100 to the house of charity in Spittlefields [sic] established for the relief of poor French Protestants; £50 to the hospital for poor French Protestants; and £10 each to three godchildren. He left personal effects and £600 to his eldest son Stephen Cabibel. After further small monetary legacies to other relatives he left his residuary estate 1/6th to Stephen; 1/6th to Stephen's wife Martha (to whom also left his plate and £100 for mourning); 1/3rd to his second son Simpeon Peter Cabibel; and 1/3rd to this third son John Cabibel, both the latter adjusted for the sons' indebtedness to him or to Stephen Cabibel. He said that most of his effects were in the silk trade which he conducted with Mr Daniel Baromeau, and he authorised his executors to invest his capital(other than the 1/6th bequeathed to Stephen Cabibel) in the partnership with Baromeau and pay the profits pro rata to his heirs.
