P_10433_1378 – Thomas Hebert

D.O.B: D.O.D:

‘Thomas Herbert’ is shown in TASTDB as captain in eight slaving voyages (six known to have been from London) between 1715 and 1730 and a man of the same name is given as an owner and co-owner of five slaving voyages from London between 1732 and 1737. The slave-trade captain was certainly in fact Thomas Hebert, and we have tentatively concluded that the slave-voyage owner was the same man, active as a merchant in London in the 1740s and dying in London c. 1754.
