Evidence from High Court of Admiralty
Twenty-six year old Richard Beavis deposed on June 22nd 1655 in the High Court of Admiralty. He was examined in the case of "Harbyn against Mills".
Richard Beavis stated that he was brother-in-law to the plaintiff John Harbyn and that " Little if any of their affaires and negotiations in merchandising doe passe without communicating the same th'one to the other partly upon the accompt of their Intimacy by way of freindship and partly by way of advice." Beavis stated that in October 1654 John Harbyn had told him that he intended to write to Mr William Carey, an Englishman resident in Bordeaux, to requet him to lade a parcel of French tobacco in a Flemish vessel and to send it to Morleaux. The tobacco was to be sent to Mr James Churchey and Nicholas Saunders at Morleaux, who were the agents and correspondents there of John Harbyn. Bevis revealed that he had been born in Devon, not far from William Carey.[4]
