P_10433_1862 – Lingwood

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

‘Lingwood’ was the owner of  a slaving voyage by the Resolution in 1725 from London to Bance Island, where the ship was sank: the 60 captive African people aboard were disembarked and placed with 70 others aboard the Friendship under captain Arthur Raymond, who had reportedly been on a non-slaving trading voyage to west Africa for Robert Burridge of Lyme Regis but opportunistically contracted to carry them to Barbados (Raymond made another slaving voyage the following year in the same ship, possibly casting doubt on this account). A Thomas Lingwood merchant of London was involved in litigation in the 1720s and 1730s.  No will has been traced in Britain, but Thomas Lingwood merchant of London was bankrupt in 1742.
