Notes

English merchants in Bordeaux

Nathan Wright

Little documentation is available on Nathan Wright's commercial activities prior to the mid-1640s, though Wright may have been located in Bordeaux in 1628.^[1] If this is so, he may have started in the French wine trade, as did the Bristol born, but later London based, merchant, Sir Mathew Hollsworthy, whose family had strong historical links with Spanish trading.
