Hi Josephine, That's a really fabulous painting. The information on Pocock was enlightening as well. The article says: "By 1766, he was in command of Richard Champion's ship, Lloyd, and he made six voyages in her to South Carolina." In all probability, he was doing the 'triangle route' which took goods to Africa, picked up slaves, delivered them to South Carolina, and brought back tobacco to Bristol. It might be worth looking for his log books in connection with my searches for the ancestors of American who knew they descended from slaves. Thanks for posting this information.

Hi again, After bookmarking the two sites for future reference, I did a google for the ship mentioned - ie The Lloyd of Bristol. Here's the URL that popped up: http://discoveringbristol.org.uk/browse/slavery/page-of-log-book-of-ship-lloyd71/ Looks like I nailed it on the head -- Pocock was a SLAVER!!!!!

A descendant of Nicholas Pocock was Martha Pocock who married Henry Mills Grace in 1831 and they are the parents of W G Grace the famous cricketer.

Hi Nancy, We noticed that. Rather sad that it was so accepted at the time. Excellent site there, Nancy.
