"Christopher Condent"
He was born in the late 1690's in Plymouth, England and had a very lucrative pirate business in the East.

Twenty or more of the men settled on the island, but Condent went on to marry the Governor’s sister-in-law, travel to France, settle down in Brittany and to become a wealthy merchant.
