Charles McGee

 

Charles McGee was a native of Ribon in Jamaica, born in 1744, and whose father died at 108. He usually stood at the Obelisk, at the foot of Ludgate Hill. He had lost an eye, and his woolly white hair was tied up behind in a tail. Charles was supposed to be worth money – his stand was certainly better than many others. He wore a smart coat, presented to him by a city pastry-cook.
