Abraham Samuel

18 April 1699 Letter from Abraham Samuel, signed "Tolinar Rex"

Abraham Samuel[a] (died 1705), also known as "Deaan Tuley-Noro" or "Tolinar Rex", was a mulatto pirate of the Indian Ocean in the days of the Pirate Round in the late 1690s. He was said to be born in Martinique or Jamaica, or possibly or Anosy, Madagascar. Shipwrecked on his way back to New York from Madagascar, he briefly led a combined pirate-Antanosy kingdom from Fort Dauphin, Madagascar (modern Tôlanaro), from 1697 until he died there in 1705.
