Thomas Barehaire, known also as "the Barrister", was infamous throughout 18th Century London's tight knit legal community for being corrupt, conniving, and craven.
If Barehaire was aware that the moniker was derogatory, he seemed not to care, for he rarely associated with the black-gowned rookery of London lawyers. He had never qualified at any of London's traditional Inns of Court. Exactly where he received his legal training was a mystery. Some speculated that he had been born into wealth and unofficially articled to a distant relative in his youth.
Most of Barehaire's days were spent waiting outside the courts for those who were brought before the judges without legal representation. Preying on their desperation, he would offer his services at vastly marked-up rates, often accepting collateral or alternative means of payment. Barehaire was a keen reader of people, seeing to the heart of their fears and anxieties, feigning empathy and leveraging emotions that would ingratiate him--and his hefty fee.
It is unclear when Barehaire left London for the colonies of the West Indies, but by 1712 he had made the acquaintance of wealthy planter Theodore Braddock's listless son-in-law John Baldwin, who engaged his services to alter his father-in-law's will. Correspondence between the two betrayed Barehaire's anxiety, who, for all his cunning, lived in terror of eventual reprisal.
Edward and Baldwin's daughter Lucy later discovered the full extent of Barehaire's manipulations, that he had drawn on old contacts to arrange for the pirate hunter Robert Maynard to imprison her, paving John Baldwin's path to the Braddock inheritance. Tracking Barehaire's trail to Havana, Edward and Lucy caught and killed him for his role in her grandfather's murder.
