Notes

Thomas Maynard, Lisbon, 1661

"That the Portuguese government had good reason to complain of Garland's behaviour, can be seen from the following reference to this affair in a letter from Thomas Maynard, at Lisbon dated 4 November 1661. He explains that the ship Alexander of London, Nicholas Garland, master (who died on the voyage) was freighted by Messrs Parker and Bence of London ..."^[2]

- Thomas Maynard, the English consul in Lisbon, was from Plymouth. He was appointed consul in Lisbon in August 1655 by Cromwell. He made and signed an agreement with the English merchants in Lisbon in 1656 regarding his remuneration.^[3]

Thomas Bird, Lisbon, 1663

"[October 2, 1663] The Deputy having procured a letter of credit from Alexander Bence to Thomas Bird at Lisbon, to be taken to Madeira for supply of wines to the American, the same being for the Company's use, order is given for the Deputy to be indemnified."^[4]
