 Thomas Tew
According to Johnson, Tew called his crew and persuaded them to abandon their mission and organise themselves on a piratical basis, on the basis that an attack on the French factory would be of little value to the public and of no particular reward to them for their bravery.
Tew soon discovered that she was commanded by Captain Misson, a famous French pirate (or not - he was the leader of the "Republic of the Seas" a century before the French Revolution), and the Amity went to Misson's settlement of Libertatia on Madagascar.
Tew and his crew stayed with Misson until Tew was sent on a mission to seize slaving ships frequenting the coast of Guinea, with a crew of 200 (30 English, the rest French, Portuguese and negroes).

 ‘A Man of Courage and Activity’: Thomas Tew and Pirate Settlements of the Indo-Atlantic Trade World, 1645-1730
Through a social biographical approach to an Anglo-American pirate, Thomas Tew, this paper attempts to situate pirates and piracy in their proper historical contexts, to demonstrate that the definition of "pirate" was an unstable and continually shifting category, and to establish that many pirates operated within cultural and social norms.
The research presented here reveals how the sinews of empire were constructed from above by ruling elites, from below by colonial merchants and seamen, and from beyond by entities outside the control of the metropole, exposing the general processes and contested means by which the economic, social, and cultural frameworks of empire were formulated.
Finally, this paper attempts to remedy a gap in the scholarship between scholars of the Atlantic and Indian Ocean worlds, exposing some early modern interactions between these regions by tracking pirate settlements, their inhabitants and their sponsors over the course of the seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries.
