???? - 1827
Bristol merchant and MP, son of Henry Cruger sen. (q.v.) who left the bulk of his West India property to his son John Harris Cruger (q.v.) rather than to Henry Cruger jun., whose connections to slavery thus appear to lie in his business as an American merchant in Bristol which included trade with the West Indies. By a deed of 14/10/1775 he and his partner John Mallard appointed Henry Forrest as their attorney for Nevis.
