 Samuel Mico traded in currants and raisins as well as in silks.  However, it is hard from the available primary evidence to assess the relative weighting of these commodities, and whether his commodity and geographical trading patterns changed over time.  His 1669 inventory accounts contains a significant number of references to receipt of cash for sales of currants and raisins, but also for silks.  These accounts show significant trading with merchants in Leghorn, specifically with Thomas Dethicke & co.<ref>[[MRP: PROB 5/840  Inventory & probate accounts of Samuel Mico, 1666, ff. 1-27|PROB 5/840  Inventory & probate accounts of Samuel Mico, 1666, ff. 1-27]]</ref>
 As regards exports from London, Samuel Mico had a significant involvement in the export of woolen manufactures.  A complaint by Samuel Mico to the Council of State was reported by Alderman Pennington in 1651, and appears to suggest that Samuel Mico directly employed "Thousands of the People of this Commonwealth in making of Manufactures of Wool, to be transported beyond the Seas".<ref>This is the footnote text</ref>  Given Samuel’s close interest in the son of John Mico, clothier, of Croscombe, Co. Somerset, it seems quite possible that Samuel Mico and John Mico, who may have been cousins, had a similar family trading relationship to those of the Ashes clothier and merchant family with France and Antwerp, the Dawes family, and the Dashwood family.  Furthermore, Samuel Mico’s Alicante factor, Aaron Mico, was the son of Aaron Mico, clothier of Croscombe, Co. Somerset, the father of John Mico of Croscombe.  The ''ODNB'' entry on Samuel Mico simply states that there were two branches of the family, with the junior one staying in Taunton, Somerset, and is unclear whether Samuel Mico himself was born in London or elsewhere, but it is likely that he was born in Weymouth, Co. Dorset, with a secondary source states that his father was Richard Mico of Weymouth, Co. Dorset.<ref>John Bennett and Pamela Willetts, ‘Richard Mico’, Chelys, vol. 7 (XXXX, 1977), pp. 24-46, ''The Journal of the Viola da Gamba Society''</ref>
