Need Governors for pimping Blackbeard game

Looking for @ 25mm - can be smaller, Governor figures. A couple different poses and possibly a martial pose with sword would be cool. Hard to find companies.

Apart the excellent suggestions by Traveller, I have seen people using some of the civilian figures produced by Eureka
http://eurekamin.com.au/index.php?cPath=87_126_138&sort=3a
and I mean those vignettes like "more tea vicar" etc.
I fact I have this special figure of the seated gentleman with wrapped foot to be used as a governor!

Also to remind you the excellent Governor's daughter by Black Scorpion!

Foundry 18th century civilians. They have a pack entitled Aristocrats which has several,very dressed gentlemen, who would make ideal governors. The pack also includes several ladies who would be suitable as Givernors wife/ mistress/daughter etc.

I forgot these if you want armed gentlemens, check out the infantry officers and dismounted cav officers:

This pack (GP3) can also be useful:

Outpost miniatures have some figures in their highwaymen range that might be suitable:
