Biographical synthesis

Abraham Gaultier (alt. Gualtier, Gaulter) (b. ca. 1623; d. aft. 1660). Merchant.

Cashier of London merchant Luke Luce in 1655.

Resident in London in 1654, 1655 and 1656. Possibly co-located with Luke Luce in the parish of Saint Catherine Coleman in 1651-1654 period (and beyond).

Evidence from High Court of Admiralty

Abraham Gaultier deposed for the first time in the High Court of Admiralty on February 21st 1654. He gave his age as thirty-three and described himself as a merchant of London. He was examined in the case of "The claime of the Duke of Courland for the Temperance of Libanno in Curland John Jacobson Bleau master, and of the said duke and Luke Lucie for the goods".[1]

Abraham Gaultier, describing himself as cashier of Luke Lucy (sic), deposed again on February 19th 1655 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on an allegation in the case of "The clayme of Luke Lucy merchant of London for goods taken out of the ship the Peter of which Peter de la Solle was master by Edward Payne commander of the vessell the Saint Ives Scout. Gaultier stated that in early 1653 Luke Lucy had been the owner of three bales of perpetuanas and two bales of minnekin bayes. Customs duties were paid in London by Luke Lucy and the goods were entered in the Customs House to be transported overseas in the ship the Charitie of Hamburg. Allegedly the Charitie having already departed from Portsmouth, the goods were actually laden on the Saint Peter by Lucy's Portsmouth correspondent Hugh Salisbury, for transportation to San Sebastian in Spain.[2]

Abraham Gaultier deposed for a third time in the High Court of Admiralty on July 11th 1656.[3] Giving his age as thirty-five, and describing himself as a merchant of London, he was examined in the case of "The claime of Luke Luce of London merchant for the Saint John Baptist of which Broeder Backson is master and goods".[4]
