Robert Taylor (Senior) of Ember Court

Partnership Role

Hibbert, Taylors and Simpson
Partner

West India merchant (Colonial - Caribbean)

Notes

NB Although this is highly likely to have been Robert Taylor (senior) of Ember Court as partner in Hibbert, Taylors and Simpson (and his son Robert Taylor (b. c. 1793) was perhaps too young to have been a partner in 1814), there were also other Robert Taylors connected with Jamaica at this time, notably Robert Taylor of Kirktonhill (d. 1857) and Robert Taylor of Broomland near Dumfries (d. 1841).
