thepeerage.com. There is a legend that Francis Baring had dealt in slaves by time he was 16. Young Francis attends Mr Fuller's Academy at Lothbury then is clerk in house of Boehm and in the house of Temekett (Samuel Touchet?), a "considerable London merchant" (Hidy book, p. 7). it is an object lesson when Tuchet suicides/fails in 1773 is that due to the Fordyce failure? From 1763 the family firm starts and their ship Venus is often to Cadiz. By 1766 as mother dies, the firm exports bale goods to Iberian peninsula and imports wine and other. General trade with Flanders, Low Countries, and North Germany. John has some WI trade. In 1763 in London, John and Francis Baring have capital of only 4200 pounds. In 1767 Francis Baring moves to 6 Mincing Lane. By 1768 Francis has capital of £11,000. He loses badly on soda ash costs him £2000. Francis B from 1764 banks with Martin and (Richard) Stone (Richard Stone, p. 15 (and p. 488, note 38) of Hidy is Francis' brother-in-law but does not say how). Connections arise with Medit, Spain, France, Holland, Baltic, American colonies and west indies. deals with Levant men, Leghorn, Cadiz, Malaga, Marseilles, Havre, Paris, Amsterdam (Hopes and Co), Hamburg (his school friend Nolte of Otto Franck and Co), Philadelphia with Willing and Morris.

Martin, "The Grasshopper" in Lombard Street. London, 1892. In Oct 1785 (Hidy p 489 note 50, Baring is considering helping France establish a rival to British EICo, but is dubious about it, so by now, Barings and Coutts both advise govt on finance and dealings). Hidy, p. 490 has Baring to Pitt in May 1785. Baring to Warren Hastings, Nov-Dec 1785, has Baring to Edmund Burke in 1792. By april 1792, Fran Baring (Hidy p. 488, note 43 from Bentham Papers) writes to Jeremy Bentham, note that Gov Hunter is a friend of Jeremy's brother Samuel. from the 1790s the Barings' chief concern is European trade and finance, then American. Hidy p. 491 has letter Baring to Pitt, Jan 24, 1795. in 1800 John II withdraws his name from family firm. In 1804, Hidy, p. 491 has a house Baring and Smith (is that Baring and Smith, Payne Smith?) in an 1804 large consolidated loan of 3 per cent £15,000,000.
