CESAR PICTON (c. 1755 - 1836), coal merchant
'Cesar Picton was born c. 1755 in West Africa, possibly Senegal, and was brought to Britain in 1761 at the age of around six. The earliest reference to him is a note made on 8 November 1761 in the journal of Sir John Philipps of Picton (Philipps Family), sixth baronet (1701-1764), who represented Pembrokeshire in Parliament with the residence Norbiton Place in Kingston upon Thames: 'Went to Norbiton with Capt. Parr and Lieut. Rees, taking with me a Black Boy from Senegal given me by Capt. Parr, also a Paraquet and foreign Duck.'' -- Katie Barrett
