Agreement between George Lyde, George Balling, (both of Swanage) and John Jeffrey of Southampton

27 Feb 1600

"...an arrangement was concluded when John Jeffrey, a Southampton merchant, lent 720 to the
joint-owners of half the ship the George  of that city. Jeffrey was to receive 725 within 
fourteen days of the ship's arrival at Bordeaux or La Rochelle from Newfoundland, or within
a month of her return to England if she did not go to France. The half-owners, George Lyde
and George Balin [Balling] of Swanage, agreed that their half of the vessel was to be 
enjoyed by Jeffrey as his own property, and gave bonds of 750 as security..."

[TC Note - The above John Jeffrey was perhaps the first of the Jeffrey  merchant family who
were involved in the Newfoundland trade.
