I am looking for historical records from that time written about the pirate kingdom in Madagascar.
According to some historical records, it appears that small pirate kingdoms existed on the east coast of the main island of Madagascar. Below are citations of the records from that era.
Captain Samuel Lewis's record from 1719:
522. Many of Halsey's crew settled in Madagascar and some were still to be found there in 1719, for when the St. George (Captain Samuel Lewis) was at St. Mary's, her Log (23rd July 1719) tells us that two Europeans, John Guernsey and Old Nick of Dover came on board to see the Captain. "These I kept on board two nights and entertained them plentifully with liquor, in hopes to sound what might be gathered from them. They faithfully pro-mised me provisions speedily, but I found their tempers much alike (with a downeast eye, not able to look me in the face) very cautious of what they spoke till almost drunk, then they lay themselves open and tell of their loose way of living, bragging in their villainy as bravoes. They acknowledge of their being in the brigantine [i.e. the Charles] that took Chamberlayne, and at the plundering of three Moor ships and bringing away a fourth, which lay sunk in their harbour. This they call the Fair Chance, and they wanted but one hit more and then to go home, for they were aweary of their course of life. Their number was now reduced to 17 with about 10 or 12 Mustees and free negroes. That they live separate on the other side upon the Main, some 20 or 30 miles asunder, each having a town to himself and not less than five or six hundred negroes, their vassalls, ready to serve 'em upon any expedition.
A letter from the Governor of Bourbon Island in 1724:
They remain distant from each other without any union. They hold this coast of Ambanivoulle from the 13 ° degree 40 minutes where is the large point which, with reefs, forms a kind of fort called Anglebay, to the river of Manangharre, not far from the bay of Antongil,
Testimony by a French sailor in 1730:
Personne ne doute qu'il y a en plusieurs endroits de Madagascar une quantité de forbans qui s'y sont retirés et établis, particulièrement à la côte de l'Est, dans la province de Mangabé [Antongil], les uns depuis un temps considérable, les autres depuis dix à douze ans. Ils n'y vivent pas tous dans le même canton, étant à quelque distance les uns des autres; le terrain qu'ils y occupent entre tous peut contenir vingt lieues de côte. Il est vrai que la plupart y sont considérés comme de petits souverains, ayant chacun sous sa domination deux ou trois villages;
No one doubts that there are in several parts of Madagascar a number of pirates, which are there ablaze and established, especially on the east coast, in the province of Mangabe [Antongil] some for a considerable time, others for ten or twelve years. They do not all live in the same township, being at some distance from one another; the land they occupy between all may contain twenty leagues of coast. It is true that most of them are regarded as little sovereigns, each having under their own dominion two or three villages; (Translated by Baylus C. Brooks.)
This is all the material I could find on the pirate kingdom in Madagascar. Does anyone know of any other sources that document the pirate kingdom of Madagascar?
