P_10433_1438 – John Carruthers
Born: Unknown
Died: Unknown
Owner-captain in two voyages 1732-35 and captain in five further voyages, all destined for Charleston. He appears to have subsequently become a merchant in London. He was probably John Carruthers of Brecansyde ‘shipmaster of London’. In turn the will of this man was probably that of John Carruthers of Bromley St Leonard proved in 1770, which mentions a bond from George Muir W.S. who was associated with the financial affairs of Brecansyde.
