The Cozens/Byrnes Merchants Networks Project - Updated 9 February 2007

This file is a holding file for "snippet lists" of sometimes random listings of merchant names grouped in quite disparate and/or unconnected timeframes. Generally grouped by date, and/or region, the lists may in time prompt further comment or research, in which case, they will be deleted from this file and placed elsewhere. For the time being, as lists, they will simply rest here, given in a variety of chronology, mostly uncommented.

1795, - See A. Dickinson, Falklands sealing, pp. 63-65 - re Thomas Chapman in London, T. Chapman, Separating the Wool or Fur from Skins, Patent No. 2317, 1799. In 1795, an employee of Thomas Chapman, a skinner and trunkmaker from Bermondsey in east London, found a way to take the guard hairs from seal fur. Chapman experimented, and unwisely sought the financial aid of other merchants. He was driven to bankruptcy and despite his patent, had to resort to litigation, unsuccessfully, his employees being poached. He appealed unsuccessfully for financial redress to the House of Lords in 1810. But Chapman's invention revolutionized the British hat industry, and somewhat replaced the market for fur seal skins. But some of the London market was now served by the indigenous sealing industry which began around NSW from 1792.

Some of the merchants backing Cabot's adventure included: Bristol merchant John Day (aka Hugh Say) wrote a letter to "Grand Admiral of Spain", Christopher Columbus, about Cabot's voyage on Matthew. Letters Patent (licence) for the voyage from Henry VIII. Participation of Bristol merchants Robert Thorne and Hugh Elyot have been claimed as involved but matters not yet proved conclusively.
