Overview

Richard Glover (d. 1697/98) was a pirate and slave-trader active in the Caribbean and the Red Sea in the late 1690s. History Richard Glover, his brother-in-law John Hoar, Thomas Tew, and other captains had obtained privateering commissions from Governor Benjamin Fletcher of New York in 1694. Fletcher would later be accused of collusion, knowing full well that the captains intended to engage in piracy. Glover was given command of the Charming Mary, owned by John Beckford, Colonel Russel, and Judge Coats. That autumn, Glover outfitted the 200-ton, 16-gun, 80-man ship in Barbados and sailed for the east coast of Africa, following Tew's "Pirate Round" route. He arrived at Adam Baldridge's pirate trading post at Île Sainte-Marie off Madagascar in August 1695, where he careened the Charming Mary and traded with Baldridge. In October of the same year he sailed for Madagascar to pick up slaves and trade goods.
