Hello all, I’m hoping you can help me solve this: “John Sutherland died on his way home to England from Black River, Jamaica, British West Indies on board the ship Williams off the island of Cuba.” I can find no record of a Royal Navy vessel named Williams or even William. According to the www.slavevoyages.org database there were two slave ships named William which traveled to Jamaica in the 1760s, but neither in 1765. A slave ship named William did travel to Barbados in 1765. There was also a William owned by Samuel Sedgley which apparently transported both convicts and slaves. Is this the proverbial needle in a haystack? Any thoughts? Sincerely, Jennifer
