Sources: ' In written evidence to the Board of Trade in 1724 against a mercantile petition complaining about the province’s issuance of paper currency, South Carolina’s Governor, Francis Nicolson, testified to Wragg’s pre-eminence in London’s Carolina trade. He noted that “Mr. Samuel Wragg mercht. in London is more concerned in trade to this H.M. province than all the petitioners and that his brother [Joseph Wragg] here with Messrs. [William] Gibbon and [Andrew] Allen are by farr the greatest traders here [in Charles Town]”, Huw T.
