HCA 13/73 f.23r Annotate +	'''Mr Pickford''' "A number of people of English, Scottish and Irish extraction had lived in Madeira since the fifteenth century...The pioneer English merchant was Robert Willoughby who arrived in Funchal as a young man about 1590. He was a staunch Catholic, and much in favour in Lisbon and Madrid and was buried at the Franciscan convent in Funchal. More important was William Ray who in 1620 paid more duty for goods exported from Funchal than any other merchant - though it needs to be remembered that Portuguese merchants exporting goods in Portuguese ships were not subject to duty. During the middle years of the seventeenth century the principal merchant was '''Richard Pickford''', active from 1638 to 1682, above all in the wine trade. The best known is William Bolton whose extensive correspondence has been published in the Bolton Letters (1928).UNIQad76fc04cc5953ab-ref-000008FC-QINU "In the second half of the seventeenth century and the beginning of the eighteenth century, firms usually consisted of two closely related merchants - two brothers, a father and son, or an uncle and nephew. Occasionally two or three unrelated merchants pooled their talents and resources and shared risks, as did Obadiah Allen and '''Richard Pickford''' in the 1670s and 1680s, Richard Miles and Richard Richbell in the 1700s, and William Bolton, Sr, John Morgan, and Marmaduke Darrell in the 1700s and 170s, but these were exceptions. Bonds between non-relatives were less close. Allen & '''Pickford''' joined with William Freeman of Nevis and London in the 1670s, but as correspondents, not partners. Similarly, Bolton, Darrell and Morgan joined with Robert Heysham of London and his brother William Heysham of Barbados - as agents... By the first quarter of the eighteenth century (1703-1728), the English-speaking merchant community of 43 men still had only four partnerships and firms - Bolton, Darrell & Morgan (which evolved into Bolton and Darrell upon Morgan's demise), Lynch & Lynch, Miles & Richbell (which evolved into Miles & Miles upon Richbell's death), plus James Gordon's brief alliance with Manoel Da Costa Campos and, when that broke up, William Halloran's partnership with Campos. All other Britosh traders appear to have operated as sole proprietors, as did the Portuguese except Da Costa Campos."UNIQad76fc04cc5953ab-ref-000008FF-QINU  +

Captain Kitcher commanded the ''Half Moon'' from 1653 to 1654, and commanded the ''Great Charity'' in 1659. Both of these ships were Dutch prizes. The Dutch name for the ''Half Moon'' was ''Halve Maan''. The ship had been hired by the Monnikendam Directors. Her Dutch captain was Hendrick Pieterszoon. The ship was captured at the Battle of the Gabbard in June 1653. The ''Great Charity'' was an Amsterdam Directors' ship, the ''Groote Liefde'' (38 guns), captured at the Battle of Portland in February 1653. Her Dutch captain was Bruijn van Seelst.
