P_10433_1788 – Roger Mainwaring
Roger Mainwaring, London Russia merchant (d.c. 1760). ‘Manivaring’ was shown as sole owner of a slaving voyage in a vessel named the Eaton Friggot to Africa and Jamaica in 1725, and ‘Manwaring’ was shown as the sole owner of a slaving voyage by the Mary Anne to Gambia and the Americas arriving back in London in 1726. Roger Mainwaring was described as a merchant late of Russia in 1725. Roger Mainwaring was in litigation in the 1730s and 1740s apparently tying him to insurance cases with a nexus of London slave traders.
