His birth-date is taken from his will, and his death-date is taken from https://www.findagrave.com/memorial/210538479/john-shoolbred [accessed 14/03/2022]. PROB 11/1369/83.  TNA B 3/4472 and 4473 Description: In the matter of John Shoolbred and William Williams of Mark Lane, London, merchants (dealers and chapmen), bankrupts. Volume 1 and Volume 2, Date of commission of bankruptcy: 1806 December 9; London Gazette 16457 19 February 1811 p. 349. PROB 11/1369/83; the will of John Shoolbred of Cape Henry Haiti partner in Bain and Shoolbred proved 31/10/1820 was probably the son of the London slave-trader. Voyages nos. 78053 (in 1772) and 75565 (in 1774) in the Grace, both captained by Alexander Curry or Currie, to Bonny and then St Vincent and Jamaica respectively, also almost certainly belonged to John Shoolbred [the elder], who appears as owner in Lloyd's Register 1776. Two slaving voyages from London by the New Britannia (no. 75932 in 1771; no. 78101 in 1772) for which no ownership information is given in TASTDB were also almost certainly those of John Shoolbred sen. The second of these culminated in a rising in January 1773 by the enslaved Africans who blew up the ship killing almost all onboard, Rediker The Slave Ship p. 290. All four have been added to Shoolbred's voyages in this entry.
