<u>James Blatt (b. ca. 1614, d. 1673 … <u>James Blatt (b. ca. 1614, d. 1673)</u>
James Blatt identified himself in the above deposition (HCA 13/73 ff.176v-177r), dated June 1659, as a merchant of London, aged forty-five.
His will, which was signed in September 1673, and proved in October of the same year, clarifies that he ws a citizen and draper of London, and then resident in the parish of Saint Peters Cornehill London ("where I now live"). He was thus roughly sixty years of age at his death.
He clearly had a family and estate link to the county of Suffolk, making reference in his will to messuages lands and tenements in the parish of Newton in the County of Suffolk, and requesting the distribution of £5 to the " poore of Sudbury in the County of Suff[olke]"
In his above deposition, Blatt refers to a bale of serges which he had shipped to Danzig, as well as a further bale of Suffolk cloths, which he had shipped on the behalf of another man ("belonging to one John Cockerill, an English man as this Deponent likewise is. which said bale Contained ffive Suffolke Cloathes")
A postmortem inventory exists for James Blatt, which would be interesting to study for information about Blatt's business.UNIQd161f13481f424f7-ref-00001512-QINUs.UNIQd161f13481f424f7-ref-00001512-QINU +
