 Christopher Boone maintained his commercial interest in Spain after his return to London, and employed Anthony Upton as his Seville factor in the 1660s. Anthony Upton, like Christopher Boone, came from the south-west England, Upton being from near Dartmouth, Devon. Upton mentioned Christopher Boone in his will, which he wrote in Seville in 1669.<ref>[[MRP: Anthony Upton will|PROB 11/332 Penn 1-66 Will of Anthony Upton of Seville 25 January 1670]]</ref>
