Samuel Axe was an English privateer in Dutch service during the early 17th century. Serving with English forces in the Netherlands during the
Dutch War of Independence, Axe traveled to the British colony of
Providence Island where he assisted in the construction of its central fortress in 1629. However, after a disagreement with Daniel Elfrith (possibly over the capture of Spanish and Portuguese slavers during the early 1630s
[1]), he soon left the island with
Abraham Blauvelt and Sussex Camock and sailed for
Honduras in 1633.
