Hij is aangezocht door Cornelis van Aerssen van Sommelsdijk mogelijk om de belangen te behartigen met het katholieke Spanje. In 1683 richtte Van Hulten samen met Jacob Boreel, Joan Huydecoper van Maarsseveen (1625-1704), Gillis Sautijn en Willem Sautijn een compagnie van negotie en handel op, die een of meer suikermolens en een plantage zou inrichtine in Suriname. Van Aerssen zou in Suriname hun belangen behartigen. Van Hulten kwam in opspraak bij de verzending van ossen uit Ierland naar Suriname, verboden particuliere handel. Over zijn benoeming was in 1686 veel te doen, omdat hij katholiek was en de Zeeuwen tegen "papen" waren. Waarschijnlijk is dat er in 1685 een toezegging is gedaan aan de Spaanse kroon voor het verkrijgen van het Asiento, dat er katholieke geestelijken zouden worden uitgezonden naar de plantages. Toen de twee priesters ziek werden en stierven zijn hun kisten naar de Staten van Zeeland retour gestuurd, die de merkwaardige zending weigerde. Van Hulten kreeg de opdracht de kisten terug te sturen naar Suriname. Op 12 december 1689 werd Van Hulten niet toegelaten tot de vergadering van de Sociëteit. Het duurde tot 1696 voor de familie Van Aerssen weer een aantal directeuren kon aanstellen, waaronder Hermannus Amya en George Clifford. Van Hulten woonde in Amsterdam op de Keizersgracht 268, genaamd de Gouden Ketting, een pand dat in 1998 bij een verbouwing is ingestort."  +

We sent them for Lisbon where they were sold very well, as it happened, 750 réis per lb. There remains yet 8 chests in cellar and one chest campechena grain. As for your lignum rhodium, I cannot dispose of one t for money nor upon truck, insomuch that I doubt warehouse room will eat out the principal. Besides, it dries very much.

In September 1654 he had signed Maurice Thomson's petition which called for a freer Eastern trade in which individuals might send private adventures independent of the Company. Then he joined Thomson and '''Thomas Canham''' in such a voyage. They hired the ''Golden Cock'', a ship of 85 tons owned by Richard Ely and Paige's cousin John Paige of Plymouth, and set her out in November for Bantam. The ship stopped at Tenerife for the vintage and had delivered wines safely to Bantam by August 1655. There she was freighted by the Company to carry pepper from Sumatra to Bantam, but in October 1656 was leaking so badly from worm damage that she was scuttled in the Jamboaye River. And in November 1657 Paige's own cousin was suing him, Thomson and Canham in the Admiralty Court to recover the value of the ship and freight due.

HCA 13/73 f.16v Annotate +	<u>John Turner</u> <u>John Turner in the English Admiralty Court in the 1650s</u> A "Mr John Turner", merchant of the City of London, is mentioned in the affidavit of Frederick Ixem, a London notary publique, made in December 1657 in the English Admiralty Court.UNIQ4585e21548fb1208-ref-0000000E-QINU Since this mention is thirty-seven years prior to the above mentioned will, it is not certain that the will and the deposition match.UNIQ4585e21548fb1208-ref-00000011-QINU The affidavit was made "On the behalfe of Mr Sam: Wilson and Company touching the ''Vosse''", of whom John Turner was evidently a member, though probably junior to Samuel Wilson, who was also described by Ixem as a merchant of London. Ixem's deposition records a bill of sale for the ship the ''Vosse'', dated in Amsterdam on July 23rd (new style), which had been delivered to Ixem in London on December 18th 1657 (old style) to be entered into the records of the English High Court of Admiraty for "perpetual remembrance". Such entering of a foreign bought ship into the Admiralty Court records would have been to fend off future legal disputes, should the ''Vosse'', under English ownership, later be arrested by English privateers and alleged to be still Dutch owned. The John Turner and Samuel Wilson of Ixem's 1657 affidavit are likely to have been London merchants engaged in the Spanish and East Indian trade. - In the late 1640s and early 1650s, a John Turner, was chief factor at Teneriff in the Canary Islands for three London merchants prominent in the Canary wine trade: Rowlamd Wilson senior, his partner Martin Bradgate, and Henry St John. G.F.Steckley, in his analysis of John Paige's Canary wine trade, has suggested that the chief factor, John Turner, shipped over 1,100 pipes of Canary wine annually between 1645 and 1647, and that the three partners supported by their chief factor accounted for 20% of the import of Canary wine to London in the late 1640s.UNIQ4585e21548fb1208-ref-00000014-QINU - The same John Turner as above is mentioned in letters of John Paige from the years 1650, 1651, 1652, 1654 and 1655. [ADD REFERENCE] - Furthermore, G.F. Steckley has identified a number of commercial letters written by John Turner from the Canaries to various correspondents, together with commercial accounts in English and Spanish.UNIQ4585e21548fb1208-ref-00000017-QINU - A "Samuel Wilson" and a "John Turner" were two of twenty-three petitioners in a "Humble petition of the merchants trading for Spain", dated September 20th 1655. Other merchant signators to this petition included Christopher Boone and John Page [alt. Paige].UNIQ4585e21548fb1208-ref-0000001A-QINU - The name of Samuel Wilson (without mention of John Turner) appeared in an English Admiralty Court case in 1657 relating to trade with Spain in 1654 and 1655. He was described as Samuel Wilson the younger in the court depositions of the mariner Richard HusseyUNIQ4585e21548fb1208-ref-0000001D-QINU and the London merchant Hanniball Allen.UNIQ4585e21548fb1208-ref-00000020-QINU These depositions related to a dispute brought by George Margetts and Company, freighters of the ''Saint Lucar Merchant'' in the years 1654 and 1655, against its owners. According to their testimony, Samuell Wilson the younger was the owner and proprietor of three sixteenths of the said ship in these years. - Twenty months later the name of Samuel Wilson is again mentioned in the English Admiralty court, this time in the company of a Thomas Plampian and John Turner (all merchants of London), regarding the seizure of the ship the ''ffrancis and John'' by the Dutch East India Company near Bantam in the East Indies.UNIQ4585e21548fb1208-ref-00000023-QINU Interestingly, a number of London merchants engaged in the Spanish trade in the 1650s became active in trade with the East Indies. Known examples include John Page [alt. Paige], who collaborated with the prominent London merchant Maurice Thompson, in a private venture to Bantam; Christopher Boone, who was a friend and relation of the merchant George Oxenden (a private trader in Surat in the late 1650s and President of the East India Company in Surat in the 1660s); and Arthur (later Sir Arthur) Ingram.UNIQ4585e21548fb1208-ref-00000026-QINU <u>Likelihood of match between John Turner of Admiralty Court in 1650s and John Turner of 1694 will</u> It is reasonably likely that John Turner the chief factor for Rowland Wilson senior, ''et al.'' in the 1640s and early 1650s, the John Turner of the HCA depositions in 1657 and 1659, and the John Turner of the 1694 will are the same man. Key to making this identification are: 1. Evidence that John Turner of the 1694 will was a vintner. He is described as such in the 1670 marriage allegations of his daughter Elizabeth and her future husband the merchant Samuel Dawes, both of whom are clearly identifiable in the 1694 will 2. The link in the 1694 will between a warehouse in John Turner's possession in Suffolk Lane, off Thames Street, and the business address of a John Turner in Suffolk Lane in 1677 London directory of merchants and bankers Of possible relevance is that Rowland Watson senior was an employer of the John Turner of Teneriff in the Canaries in the 1640s and early 1650s. Speculatively Rowland Watson may be related to Samuel Watson (alias Samuel Watson the younger) with whom John Turner of the HCA records of 1657 and 1659 is commercially connected in Spanish and other trade. There is a will of a Samuel Wilson, Merchant of London, proven in December 1681, thirteen years prior to the will of John Turner. Should transcription of Wilson's will (not yet tackled) name a John Turner linked to Ratcliff, this will strengthen the linkage of the above mentioned will of John Turner to the Admiralty court deposition made by Frederick Ixem. <u>John Turner's will</u> The will transcribed below identifies John Turner as "the elder", and as a London merchant. It was made when "weake in body", and dated June 18th, 1694. Probate was granted to John, Elias, and Edward Turner (three of his four sons) four months later. It is the will of a relatively elderly man, given his four sons all appear to be over the age of majority of twenty one. The eldest son is identified as John Turner, also a merchant of London, with further sons William, Elias, and Edward. The will identifies John Turner the elder's former residence as the "Hamlett of Radcliffe in the parish of Saint Dunstan Stepney in the County of Middlesex", but does not specify his abode at the time of making his will, beyond "London". The John Turner of the will of 1694 is likely to be the same John Turner listed by Hotten in Suffolk Lane, London, in 1677, given that the 1694 will mentions a warehouse in Suffolk Lane.UNIQ4585e21548fb1208-ref-00000029-QINU Suffolk lane (or Suffolk-Lane) was a street off Thames Street, relatively near the northern bank of the River Thames.UNIQ4585e21548fb1208-ref-0000002C-QINU John Turner the elder retained a warehouse in "Suffolk Lane in London", which was apparently rented out. Other London or near London property mentioned is as property at "Hand Alley alias Newstreete without Bishopsgate, and "seaven Messuages or Tenements and Lands situate in Ratcliffe." Farmland is mentioned in Pristlewell in Milton, Essex, which was bequeathed to John Turner the elder's son Edward, as well as land in "Chester alias Cheshunt in the County of Hertford[shire]"  +

His will, which was signed in September 1673, and proved in October of the same year, clarifies that he ws a citizen and draper of London, and then resident in the parish of Saint Peters Cornehill London ("where I now live"). He was thus roughly sixty years of age at his death. He clearly had a family and estate link to the county of Suffolk, making reference in his will to messuages lands and tenements in the parish of Newton in the County of Suffolk, and requesting the distribution of £5 to the " poore of Sudbury in the County of Suff[olke]" In his above deposition, Blatt refers to a bale of serges which he had shipped to Danzig, as well as a further bale of Suffolk cloths, which he had shipped on the behalf of another man ("belonging to one John Cockerill, an English man as this Deponent likewise is. which said bale Contained ffive Suffolke Cloathes") A postmortem inventory exists for James Blatt, which would be interesting to study for information about Blatt's business.UNIQd161f13481f424f7-ref-00001512-QINU  +

He was born around 1590, probably at Fundão, Portugal. He appears to have left Fundão on account of the persecution of the Inquisition and, proceeding to the Canary Islands, acquired much property there, made many commercial connections, which led him (about 1635) to London, where he settled in Leadenhall Street. In 1649 the council of state appointed him one among the five persons who received the army contract for corn. In 1653 Carvajal was reported as owning a number of ships trading to the East and West Indies, to Brazil, and to the Levant. He dealt in all kinds of merchandise, including gunpowder, wine, hides, pictures, cochineal, and especially corn and silver, and is reported to have brought to England, on average, £100,000 worth of silver per annum. In the early days of his residence in England, Carvajal used to attend mass at the Spanish ambassador's chapel, and in 1645 was informed against for not attending church; but the House of Lords, on the petition of several leading London merchants, quashed the proceedings. In 1650, when war broke out with Portugal, Carvajal's ships were especially exempted from seizure, though he was nominally a Portuguese subject. In 1655 he and his two sons were granted denizenship as English subjects (the patent being dated August 17 of that year); and when the war with Spain broke out in the following year, his property in the Canaries was liable to seizure, as he was a British subject. Oliver Cromwell made arrangements by which Carvajal's goods were transported from the Canaries in an English ship which passed under Dutch colors. When Menasseh Ben Israel came to England in 1655 to petition Parliament for the return of the Jews to England, Carvajal, though his own position was secured, associated himself with the petition; and he was one of the three persons in whose names the first Jewish burial-ground was acquired after the Robles case had forced the Jews in England to acknowledge their creed. Carvajal, besides advancing money to Parliament on cochineal, had been of service to Cromwell in obtaining information as to the Royalists' doings in Holland (1656). One of his servants, Somers, alias Butler, and also a relative, Alonzo di Fonseca Meza, acted as intelligencers for Cromwell in Holland, and reported about Royalist levies, finances, and spies, and the relations between Charles II and Spain. It was to Carvajal that Cromwell gave the assurance of the right of Jews to remain in England. Under the date of February 4, 1657, Burton, in his diary, states: "'The Jews, those able and general intelligencers whose intercourse with the Continent Cromwell had before turned to profitable account, he now conciliated by a seasonable benefaction to their principal agent [Carvajal] resident in England.' According to Lucien Wolf, in 1658 a cargo of logwood belonging to Carvajal was seized by the customs officers. He assembled his servants and friends, broke open the government warehouses, and carried off his merchandise. The litigation to which this gave rise was interrupted only by Carvajal's death, which occurred in London." <u>Antonio Robles (Antonio Rodrigues Robles)</u>  +

His identity and character were highly disputed amongst deponents in the English Admiralty Court case concerning the ship the ''Hope'' (1659). A generous interpretation of the data suggests that Simon Tonison Bleau was a seventeen year old Dutch boy, at the time of the Admiralty Court case (early 1659) which dealt with the Dutch built, and Anglo-Dutch owned ship, the ''Hope'', on an illegal trading voyage to the Spanish West Indies. Tonison Bleau himself claimed to have been duped by a Scotchman in Amsterdam, who took him to a tavern, at the age of twelve, where he allegedly got him drunk and whisked him off to the Spanish West Indies. A real sob story: "''somewhat<br /> above five yeeres since, a Scotch man at Amsterdam enquiring for<br /> a house which this deponent knew, got this deponent upon promise of rewarding<br /> him to show it him, which this deponent did, and therein (being a victualling<br /> house) the said Scotchman made much of this deponent and gave him soe<br /> much brandewine, wine and beere that hee made this deponent quite drunck,<br /> and being soe, caused this deponent to be carried aboard a shipp, wherein<br /> hee saith hee was carried first to Tobago neere Barbados, thence this deponent was carried to<br /> Trinidad, and thence to Margarita, thence to Comanagat[XC], and soe<br /> to Comana, where at last hee met with the said shipp ''hope'', and cannot<br /> write or reade''" [Deposition of Simon To[?m]son Bleau of Amsterdam Sailor, aged seaventeene<br /> yeares, [[HCA 13/73 f.139r Annotate#head-7792b396c165940a2ef3372031f6dbb64b71233e|HCA 13/73 f.139r]  +
