David Senior was sent to Coro in 1722 as a personal representative of Curacaos
Governer, Jan Noach Du Fay. This was due to his diplomatic and linguistic
skills and the fact that he has an economic investment there. His mission was
to claim reparations for a galleon stranded off the coast of Venezuela while
fleeing pirates. He was successful. David also lobbied in 1726 in the town
council against a special surtax to be levied on goods from Spain received by
residents, which meant Sephardic merchants. {American Jewish Archives Volume

Most of his will was concerned with explaining to his surviving sons, Jacob, Abraham and Mordechai Chaim, how to pay off the debts of the company ofDavidSeniorandSons. He told his sons pay off strangers first, so as to keep an honorable name , then pay off relatives. Above all, don't sell propertyunlessforcedtoby natural catastrophe or war. And in that case let the city houses go but keep the plantations, especially Bloempot, beloved byhis wifeSarah.
