Biographical synthesis
John Kennet (alt. Kennett) (b.ca.1623; d.?). Merchant.
Resident in the parish of Saint Botolph without Aldergate in 1655.
Involved in the Levant trade.
Possibly the same man as the thirty-two year old John or Johannes Kennett of the parish of Saint Martin Ironmonger Lane, who described himself as a gentleman and late purser of the ship the Pearcey of London. This John Kennet deposed multiple times in 1650, but all his depositions were regarding the capture of his ship the Pearcey by a French man of war. The age of the John Kennet at thirty-two in 1650 does not accurately match the age of the John Kennet at thirty-five in 1655 and the parishes of Saint Botolph without Aldergate and Saint Michael Ironmonger Lane are relatively far apart.[1]
Evidence from High Court of Admiralty
Thirty-five year old John Kennet deposed on July 5th 1655 in the High Court of Admiralty.[2] He was examined in the case of "John Tayler and Company for a parcell of about 15 Tonns of Currance against Wall, ffowke and others".
Kennet stated that he had been at "the Morea in Turkey" three years ago, and that he had understood it to be the general custom for all English merchants to apply to the English consul before contracting for any goods with the officers of Turkey.[3]
