Samuel Liddell (pirate)

He would be joined by fellow captains Samuel Liddell in the Cocoa Nut, James Carnegie in the sloop Discovery, and Leigh Ashworth in the Mary.

[2] The group initially headed back to the Spanish wrecks in April; Liddell was a merchant but the Cocoa Nut’s Jamaican owners asked him to forego trading and loot the scattered Spanish silver instead.

Liddell advised his fellow captains not to attack the French ship, since their privateering commission was only against the Spanish.

[2] He offered to go aboard the French ship “to See if they could make a Lawfull prize of her”[3] but Jennings and Ashworth, joined by Samuel Bellamy with his partner Paulsgrave Williams, attacked anyway.

[3] Carnegie chased a fleeing French vessel which had been stolen by Benjamin Hornigold and Olivier Levasseur; on his return he traded his Discovery for the Marianne.
