Rita Singer<p>🔥 HOT OFF THE PRESS! 🔥 </p><p>CESAR PICTON (c. 1755 - 1836), coal merchant<br>'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.
