John Casby

John Casby is described as a London merchant in The Lord Protector against a certaine shipp called the Saint Lawrence (whereof Peter Binnewysent was and is Master) and the wynes and goods in the same taken by some of the shipps in the immediate service of this Commonwealth and against John Caseby and others coming in for their interest[1]. He is identified in this case as the original "affraighter" of the Saint Lawrence.

Casby was not a witness in this case. However, he was deposed on February 16th 1658(59) in the separate claime of Robles in the Saint Lawrence.

In Casby's deposition he describes himself as a merchant of London, aged thirty-two years. According to his deposition, he had lived in the Canary islands, where he had known Antonio Rodrigues Robles, before Robles moved to London in about 1652. Casby himself had moved to London three years before the time of his deposition.[2]

Further detail is provided by Richard Casby, a twenty-one year old London merchant, who had lived with John Casby for eight years - five of those in the Canary islands, and the last three back in London. According to Richard Casby, John Casby's correspondent in the Canary islands was Don Christoval da Alvarado, with whom he traded under the fictitious name of "Peter vander Rubin[3]
