Abraham Aguilar

Abraham Aguilar (died 1794) was a British slave trader of Portuguese descent.

Aguilar was the only known Jewish slave factor in Kingston, Jamaica in the 1760s and 1770s, and he operated with other non-Jewish merchants in the firm of Coppells & Aguilar.[1]

In 1789, he had a large detached house built at 24, West Side, Wimbledon Common, London, now known as The Kier.[2][3]

When Aguilar's will was proved in 1794, he also owned property in London's Devonshire Square.[4]
