Contractor military. Notes re Alexr Davison. He once for political electoral purposes rents land to sec of war, Wm Huskisson qv. His chief clerk is John Bowering. He has cousin in London, George Moffatt and an uncle in London, James Neal at 3 George Lane. His first position seems to be with Hazard and Co., a small stockbroking firm in Exchange Alley, only a few weeks, then with gunpowder-makers Taylor and Co. in Old Broad Street in 1767, the worst winter in London for years, and riots and cries of "Wilkes and Liberty" ensued, then with Appleton and Wrigands, merchants of Cloak Lane near Tower Bridge, from where he met Robert Hunter of John Hunter and Baileys of 54 Lothbury, a firm in Canadian fur and fishing trades, the reason Alexr first goes to Canada and his brother George ends up there. After 1789 and his first contracts to Sydney, Alexr proposes to Henry Dundas that he set up a supply base in Madagascar for Sydney. By 1790 after help from Haldimand has given Davison Bros good business in Canada, Alexr falls out with John Lees and a Davison protege named Matthew Bell is given the London end of any business. Downer, p. 106ff, In June 1792 Davison gets contract for Bellona to NSW. Davison frowns on an "uncommercial act" as returning a ship empty from the East. In July 1792 the Davison ship is leased to Navy as HM Daedalus Captain New, is contracted by Davison who asked New to do some trading on the side, then Henry Dundas ordered her to Nootka Sound, N/w America, Downer p. 107, with Lt Hergast authorized to take some territory ceded by Spain by recent treaty and to re-supply Discovery (Vancouveur's ship), and after n/w America, Daedalus would take livestock to Sydney and answer to Gov Phillip at Sydney, then go to get supplies from India and China, so Davison wanted New to take Canada furs to Canton, but the voyage turned out a disaster. After Feb 1793, Davison is asked to super-quickly find five or so ships for an expedition post-French Rev to Flanders, under the King's son, the Duke of York. Re Freemasony, Prince Regent is installed, and he asked Moira, who is dependent on Davison for money, to be a grand master, By 1793: Simcoe a keen Fremason in Downer, Nelson's Purse. Re John Simcoe first Lt-Gov Upper Canada, He is friends with Davison and by 1793 helps ensure that Davison is named as sole supply agent for British army in North America, thereby it might seem cutting out Turnbull, Macaulay and Gregory (did Davison try to cut out Macauly then?). After 1793 Alexr banks with William Smart banker of Lombard Street, He is with bank, which finally failed, and was bought out by Coutts due to Antrobus, Alexr Davison, Noel, Templer and Co. (earlier, Edwards, Noel, Templer, (Richard) Johnson and Wedgwood), who are this man, and He is a Freemason. His son Alexander Horatio Nelson D dies of water on the head while staying at Broadstairs. He apparently has a farmer-brother, Jack or John. His patron is Lord Percy, Duke1 Northumberland. He is friends with Frederick Haldimand. Davison inherits Nelson's Turkish gun, scimitar and canteen by 10 May 1803. He has his own volunteer infantry corps, and is Lt-Colonel of The Loyal Britons. Martyn Downer.
