1764 - 27th Dec 1837
London ropemaker and shipping agent, who was awarded the compensation for several estates in Jamaica, as a result it appears of his mortgage lending to slave-owners, including the London merchants Plummer and Wilson and the descendants of the planter Thomas Kaylet (q.v).
Identified as a creditor of the bankrupts John Plummer and William Wilson (each of whom q.v.), in an announcement calling creditors to meet with the Assignees to discuss a transaction and suit with Joad, concerning two estates - Anchovy Bottom and Mount Thirza [sic: Mount Zion in St Elizabeth appears in the compensation records to correspond to the details for 'Mount Thirza' in the London Gazette] - over which he held security.聽The compensation records show him as assignee of John Plummer, but it is clear that Joad was not himself an Assignee in the bankruptcy, but a creditor: his assignment must have predated Plummer's failure in 1830-1. Plummer lived in Blackheath, as did Joad.
The will of the man in this entry [which has not been fully analysed] was proved 03/02/1838: it rehearses a marriage settlement of 1836 with Mrs Nottidge. Deaths of 'George Joad' are registered in Eastry Kent Q4 1837 and Q1 1838, as well as Q2 1847; George Joad 'Blackheath but died nr Deal' aged 73 was buried 05/01/1838 at St Mary Rotherhithe (the minister was William Curling); Mary Joad and Harriet Joad, daughters of George and Rebecca Joad, were baptised at St Mary Rotherhithe 27/05/1800 and 22/02/1805 respectively: the will appears to make no mention of them. 聽
