Biographical synthesis
Joseph Harbin (b.ca.1636; d.?). Cash keeper of John Harbin.
Resident in parish of Saint Lawrence Pountney, London, in 1655.
Justin J. Meggitt (2016) identifies a Joseph Harbin in the second half of the C17th, described as "a successful Quaker merchant on Barbados", with a son named John.[1] Sophia W. Rawlins (1983) states that Joseph Harbin's will was proved in 1692 in Barbados.[2]
See possible brother (or other relative) Henry Harbin (b. poss. ca. 1636; m. ?1681, Elizabeth Lewis of Mortlake, Surrey; d.?). Henry Harbin was a servant of John Harbin. He had lived with John Harbin in the parish of Saint Lawrence Pountney for the two years prior to his deposition in 1655.[3]
See brother John Harbin. a London merchant.
Evidence from High Court of Admiralty
Joseph Harbin (b. ?; d. ca. 1692, Barbados), the nineteen year old cash keeper of John Harbin, deposed in the High Court of Admiralty on June 13th 1655. The case was that of "John Harbin against the Crowned Oxe. He gave his residence as Saint Lawrence Pountney, and presumably, like Henry Harbin, was living at the house of John Harbin.[4]
Joseph Harbin appears, according to his will proved in 1692 in Barbados, to have been a younger brother of John Harbin, whose cash keeper he was in 1655.[5]
