3.1 million enslaved people trafficked to the British colonies

Samuel Jones, director and then Deputy Governor of the Hudson’s Bay Company (d. c. 1735),  and (as simply ‘Jones’) given as co-owner alongside the South Sea Co. of a slaving voyage from London by the Sea Horse to Madagascar and Buenos Aires in 1726. The will of the captain of this voyage, Moor White, made in 1726 and proved in 1729, shows one of his two executors as Samuel Jones of Stepney, and it has been inferred that this was the same man as the co-owner with the South Sea Co. Captain Sauce Jones had become one of the new Directors of the South Sea Co. after the bursting of the Bubble.
