Biographical synthesis

Jeremy Blackman (b. ca. ?; d. ca. 1656). Merchant.

Second husband of Elizabeth Lucy, sister of London merchant Luke Luce. Her first husband was London doctor of physic Ahasuerus Regimorter.

Resident in 1650 in the parish of Saint Olave Southwark.[1]

Will of Jeremy Blackman of Saint Andrew Undershaft proved November 25th 1656.[2]

Frequently referred to as Captaine Jeremy Blackman in other primary sources, just as his friend William Ryder is frequently referred to as Captaine William Ryder. Blackman states in a 1650 High Court of Admiralty deposition that he was in command of a ship in 1646 and was at Leghorne, where he paid his mariners in dollars at the rate of 4 s 6 d per dollar.[3]

Close trading partner and friend of Captaine William Ryder in late 1640s and 1650s, and of Luke Luce. See, for example, "An Account of the losses sustayned by Captaine William Rider Captaine Jeremie Blackman Lucas Lucie John Robinson John Harris William and George Branton and others, which were Owners and freighters of the shipp called the Roe Buck of London, being taken and surprised by Prince Rupert neere the Porte of Lisobone in Portugall the 18th of November 1649."[4]

Evidence from High Court of Admiralty

Forty-two year old Jeremy Blackman deposed on April 6th 1650 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined on an allegation on behalf of Whitter in the case of "Ex parte Capitanes Whittey con Hucket et al."[5]

A set of accounts exist in High Court of Admiralty records providing "An Account of the losses sustayned by Captaine William Rider Captaine Jeremie Blackman Lucas Lucie John Robinson John Harris William and George Branton and others, which were Owners and freighters of the shipp called the Roe Buck of London, being taken and surprised by Prince Rupert neere the Porte of Lisobone in Portugall the 18th of November 1649."[6]
