 The volume HCA 13/69 (1654) contains a number of interesting cases.
-(1) The case of Daniel Skinner the elder and his two sons, Daniel Skinner the younger and Thomas Skinner, all merchants of Dover, shows a merchant family commercially active outside London, yet maintaining commercial and family links with the capital city and dominant commercial port.  The links were maintained through Albertis (alias Albertus) Skinner, then aged twenty eight, another son of Daniel Skinner the elder.  In his HCA deposition, Albertus Skinner reported being requested by his Dover family to seek an insurance policy on the ship the ''Yong Gyant'' (formerly the ''Yong Elephant'') of Dover and its cargo of cognac wine, which he presumably sought to do at the Exchange in London.  He also paid bills of exchange as requested by his family.

 Research by this author shows that Daniel Skinner the elder (b. ca. 1579, d. 1659), was active in the Antwerp cloth trade and located in Antwerp earlier in his commercial career (1608 to ca. 1627 or 1628), nearly twenty years prior to the HCA proceedings of 1654. Making a deposition in January 1635/36, roughly eight years after leaving Antwerp, and having established himself as a merchant at Dover, Daniel Skinner the elder stated:

 '''Commercial activities'''
-There are scattered records of the commercial activities of Daniel Skinner the younger in the 1650s, 1660s, and 1670s.  These suggest broad geographical scope to his commercial interests, with wine imports from France, exports to the East Indies with his brothers, and probably some sort of trading activity with Barbados, where there were debts owing unto him at his death.

In the early 1660s there are a number of references to him using French or Dutch hulls to evade risk of capture by sea powers hostile to English merchants, and in one case putting the cargo in a stranger's name, the same device reported in the HCA depositions in 1664 regarding the ''Yong Gyant'', in which he had a one third part share.
