Christopher Kennell, Esquire, Governor of Antego
- A Captain Gregory Butler wrote to Oliver Cromwell from Jamaica in June 1655, describing a journey he had made in 1654 from Barbados to Saint Christophers in the Leeward islands. His letter includes a mention of Antigua's governor:
"Christopher Kennell, some time a captain in England, under the command of the Honourable Major-General Skippon."[9]
Butler and his party stayed one night in Antigua, departing, having proclaimed the Lord Protector, Oliver Cromwell, and having written to:
"Capt. Fountaine to come and serve your highness; judging him fit, who formerly was with Captain Cromwell In the Indies, knowing him to be valiant."[10]
This Captain Fountaine is presumably the "Captaine ffountayne" mentioned in the subsequent deposition of Samuell Church, a twenty-six year old mariner from Writtle in Essex, who had sailed in the Unitie. ffountayne, together with a Captain Jolly, and several ships' carpenters inspected the storm damaged Unitie at at the request of the Unitie's master, Jacob Moulson.
"34. To the 17th hee saith that shortly after the arrivall of the sayd
35. shipp Unitie at Antego the sayd shipp was viewed by Captaine J[olley GUTTER]
36. and Captaine ffountayne Masters of shipps then there and by some
37. shipp Carpenters whose names hee remembreath not, and hee well
38. remembreth that hee heard some of them who soe viewed her saye
39. that shee was soe battered and spoiled that shee was not able
40. or fitt to goe to Sea nor to performe her voyage to Virginia
41. And saith hee beleevth the sayd view was made by the procurance
42. of the sayd Moulson and by authority from the Governour of Ante[go GUTTER]
43. but what certificate ˹was˺ made in writing thereupon hee knoweth
44. not, And further hee cannot depose,/"[11]
Butler had formed a positive view of the islands harbours, but noted that the indigenous peoples of neighbouring islands challenged the European inhabitants:
"This island of Antigua is much molested with the indians of Guadaloupe, Dominica, and St. Vincent, which made me unwilling to entertain any of the inhabitants for soldiers, there not being on the island above twelve hundred men. The place hath very good harbours in it; and, of all the islands formerly possessed by the English, is the best, having store of earth to make saltpetre."[12]
