Every generation, and set of brothers, seems to include Anthony and William, and sometimes Henry. The folowing may refer to another William Symmer
A Bristol merchant and member of the slave trade,
William, who was based in Bristol, was in business with his brother Anthony. They were trading in sugar (produced on the slave plantations) and also in enslaved Africans. This was in the 1680s, when the London-based Royal African Company had control of slave trading. The Swymmers were thus probably trading illegally, although it is possible they were buying slaves themselves from the Royal African Company and simply selling them on.
In Janauary 1687, King James displaced William Symmer, and other, from Bristol Corporation, though they were reinsted the folowing year.
