Edward Thache

Captain Edward Thache (June 14, 1659 - November 16, 1706) was a wealthy plantation owner in the capital city of St. Jago de la Vega, or Spanish Town, Jamaica.

Edward Thache was born in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire, the son of Anglican minister Rev.

Thache's first wife Elizabeth died and was buried on January 13, 1699 in Spanish Town at St. Catherine's Anglican Church.

The following December 10, that eldest son Edward Thache Jr., then serving on HMS Windsor, deeded his inheritance to his step-mother Lucretia so that they could administer the family plantation and take care of her young children, including the young daughter of Edward Thache Jr., another Elizabeth, probably born in nearby Kingston.

"[6] Leslie also wrote "... [Blackbeard's] Mother is alive in Spanish-Town to this Day [Lucretia died 1743], and his Brother [Cox] is at present Captain of the Train of Artillery.
