Does anyone have any information on John Tucker a slaver for the Gambia Adventurers/Company of Royal Adventurers into Africa and then the Royal African Company? This John Tucker arrived in Africa from Bristol in 1665. He had a number of mulatto sons; Joseph, Peter, and Henry...and at least three other children. His descendants make up a large family today and a very prominent one in Sierra Leone. His descendants were educated in England (I believe Liverpool) and unfortunately were somewhat involved in the slave trade. Peter was an agent for the Royal African Company and Henry Tucker son of the John Tucker from Bristol was known by John Newton who wrote Amazing Grace...Newton bought a dress for Henry's wife.
Please any information on John Tucker is important. He was from Bristol and arrived in Africa in 1665.
