???? - 1816
Merchant (and in 1794 Mayor) of Bristol, active in a number of businesses including the Bristol Brass Co. John Fisher Weare was connected to the slave-economy at several points as sugar-merchant, financier of one known slave-trade voyage and creditor of slave-owners, but not, as far as LBS has found to date, himself a slave-owner. He left £300,000 in 1816.
