William Bogle

Wim Bogle is listed as an awardee of the compensation for the enslaved people on Golden Fleece in British Guiana, alongside Archibald and George Bogle (each of whom q.v.), cousins who were partners in Robert Bogle & Co. of Glasgow. This is the only award to Robert Bogle & Co. which includes William Bogle as an awardee, and no other evidence outside the compensation record for this award has been found to date of William Bogle as a partner in Robert Bogle. Identification is therefore tentative.
