30. MP, opium dealer, Scott David Senior-6171 (Robert , Patrick , Patrick , James , James , James ) was born in 1746 in Fife,Scotland,,EICo dir. He died on 4 Oct 1805.

Code-red. Michelguglielmo Torri, Trapped Inside the Colonial Order: The Hindu Bankers of Surat and their business world during the second half of the Eighteenth Century., Modern Asian Studies, Vol. 25, No. 2, 1991., pp. 367-401. On p. 384 re David Scott of EICo in 1784 was owed £191,254 by the Bombay government and owed 208,870 to his clients in India. He went to London in 1786. It is known that when Wellesley was at war in India, Scott got the military contracts.
Notes follow from Furber Trade and Politics in Madras and Bombay, p. 95ff, David Scott in 1763 started as a EI free merchant, in Bombay, he was quite powerful by time of Am Rev, and went home in 1786, managed the London branch of his house, dir of EICo and confidant of Dundas, and p. 95, investigations in late 1790s indicates he had had been involved in illicit trading for many years, connected to Stephen Iveson, a Yorkshireman, who had been of consequence before he arrived in India, of Bombay merhant prince of midC18th, of Randall Lodge, Malabar Hill, plus had two houses and a half-town-house, he let his share of family property to Blackbank near Leeds to his brother named Lancelot; Stephen left about £75,000; there were also mariner of Bombay Richard Iveson, one Henry Iveson, Stehen a friend of John Sedgewick of Leeds and his son Edward Sedgwick of India. At Bombay also was John "Tobit" Butler, a kind of inn-keeper. p. 77, in 1776 came to Madras,m from Madeira, John Leathem (clocks) who teamed with Angus Macintosh, Madras clockmakers and for the EICo; pp. 68ff in Siddiqi's ed of Trade and Finance in Colonial India, in 1787, the newly-arrived Sir Archibald Campbell delbed into corruption etc and asked all non-Co servants, and non-HM service personell, to give an account of their presences in India (about 150 of them), he made the following Madras agency houses pay freight for the first time, Balfour and Spalding, Pelling (John) and DeFries (John DeFries, a Portuguese born in Madras, Danish business, plus English/Portuguese), Amos (possibly James Amos see below) and Bowden, Francis Latour (a Swisser) and Co. (agent for two Hanoverian regts). The Madras govt was like a business firm teetering on edge of bankrupcy and being chronically cheated by its employees, needing subsidies from Bengal (as mediated by larger angency houses), main transactions in Bengal bonds, bills of exchange,the balance in rice. Geroge Tyler is large rice contractor dealing with Bengal govt, the mint contractor was a local, Chippermall Chitty, Madras military stores had been reguarly embezzled for 40 years, ie since 1737, a fellow into collusive contracts (bullocks, grain) is George Westcott. A major Madras merahnt about 1787/late C18th is Andrew Ross, with James Amos, and about Madras is Stephen Popham a lawyer, failed Irish politician, and brother of later Admiral Sir Home Popham, retailers of Masulipatam are Peter Alexander and Samuel Britain, Charles Lloyd a baker in Madras a Hanoverian Jew, retailer Thomas Andrews. John Beaumont (his wife a widow of Major Collins of Madras military, Beaumont has an aunt Martha Stubbs, and he died 1788 worth £10,000, a slave owner as well) was EICo chief at Tellicherry and William Page was first factor there, (Beaumont and Page), in 1785-1786 dealt with Scott (David), Tate (James) and Adamson (Alexander plus Stephen Iveson), a major pepper deal. Furber here p. 94ff, re Bombay civil servant James Sibbald, and long-time country trader, who'd made "a modest fortune", in the 1770s, and invested part of it in Co's Bombay bonds, and he is both a creditor and debtor of Co, latterly with Sibbald Lockyer and Forbes, which did business for Imperial EAst India Co. of Trieste, and so invovled in a slave and ivory deal off Delagoa Bay in 1782 in ship "Count Proli".
David Gibbon emailer of 6Nov 2005 thinks Scott in London has a partner one William Lennox died 1802 maybe father of Maj-General Wm Lennox (illegit?) qv. Notes for David Scott Senior - Burke's LG for Scott - Those of you interested in David SCOTT, the EIC Director will be interested that in the London Directory of 1799 he gives his address as Upper Harley St, London. He is in family of Scott of Usan and Dunninald in N.E. Scotland. What can we find re circulations of ship men re Aust about 1800 re idea that Scott also revamped shipping for Australia? By 1796-1797 from Bateson we find that Lady Shore is mutinied, see Bateson, p. 157, listing Britannia of 1797 Capt Thos Dennott, Ganges Capt Thos Patrickson, Barwell Capt John Cameron, Britannia of 1799 Capt Rbt Turnbull, 1799 Hillsborough as fever ship Capt William Hingston, in 1800 Royal Admiral with William Wilson and some Blackheath connections, see re Gabriel Gillette here. In 1801 arriving we have some Reeve and Green ships, or Brown Welbank and Petyt, and in 1801, Saunders and Prinsep with Anne St Luz. Some Enderby whalers, and Friendship owned Mangles, Capt Hugh Reed. Minerva is connected with Robert Charnock who had trouble with EICo with her. Bateson, p. 175 says from 1800 onwards, conv ship captains had wider choice of routes, depending on outward bound convoys in wartime, in 1801 arrived Sydney Anne St Luz with Irish prisoners, linked to Prinsep and Saunders, in 1802, Reeve and Green sent Coromandel and Perseus, then inhumanity of Capt Brooks, see re Ocean and two ships to Victoria/Hobart, PE Maestairs sends out Experiment, not much at all till after 1815, end of Napoleonic wars. See Helen Turing and Mr Saunders, and Turings at Madras, Reeve and Green no clues but are maybe of North Shields and London; Brown Welbank and Petyt no clues, Prinsep and Tennyson (Gov WA) links, Prinsep m to Haldimand of links to Bird, Savage and Bird, Prinsep-Pattle, a Prinsep and Gurney marriage produces Wm Humble Ward, gov-Gen Aust. Bulley, pp. 108ff has story on origins of Jardine Matheson as follows - first parterships dates from 1799, an original partner with root-money declared he is Danish King's Resident at Canton, to makes ruses re opium import, two other of three major partners owed to recommendations by David Scott, who put in his two Shank nephews, Henry (with Beale and Reid as partner) and Alexr Shank, an EICo servant, and secretary to Governor Jonathan Duncan, in 1803, is employed by Adamson and Co as cotton-buyer, this Alexr is brother-in-law of James Sibbald qv, an assistant to William Fairlie at Calcutta, and Fairlie's firm would deal in China with Magniac and Co., Charles Magnac joins with the opium partners, Thomas Beale, David Reid, Alexr Shank and Robert Hamilton by 1801, and in Canton, Hamilton is apptd Genoese Consul. There is a firm, Beale and Magniac, there is a ship named "James Sibbald" also. Bulley, Bombay ships, p. 108. This Scott returns to England in 1785 to become director later twice chairman of EICo, Dundas has his advice and that of Adamson, both look out for new trade outlets, Adamson by 1801 is being charged falsely it seems as being a company servant he is dealing in sheet copper privately, an article for EICo handling only, he is exonerated, it seems Adamson is later Marine store keeper and Bombay paymaster, Scott resigns from EICo board in April 1802, Adamson more or less then forced to resign, he did continue with his own private trading, Adamson first came to Bombay as a young writer in 1766, a puncilious workaholic, religious over- much, he gave up hope of returning to England, Adamson a former partner with James Tate who bankrupts in 1800. In 1789 Adamson tenders his first EICo ship supplying by 1798-1807 Adamsons owns/manages eleven ships, to Govt for trip to CGHope, qv, Per Iseke and from Bulley on Bombay country ships, before 1800 Scott Snr is partner with Alexander Adamson qv. Perhaps links to James Tate also as Adamson dealt with Tate (qv) Not in Hodson lists. In Christie, non-elite MPs, p. 71, he made a fortune as a free merchant at Bombay 1762-1786 and became a Dir EICo when he came home. He dealt in London with the wealthy and eccentric John Farquhar as cotton-buyer, this Alexr is brother in law of James Sibbald qv, an assist to William Fairlie at Calcutta, and Fairlie's firm would deal in China with Magniac and Co., Charles Magnac joins with the opium partners, Thomas Beale, David Reid, Alexr Shank and Robert Hamilton by 1801, and in Canton, Hamilton is apptd Genoese Consul. There is a firm, Beale and Magniac, there is a ship named "James Sibbald" also. Bulley, Bombay ships, p. 108. This Scott returns to England in 1785 to become director later twice chairman of EICo, Dundas has his advice and that of Adamson, both look out for new trade outlets, Adamson by 1801 is being charged falsely it seems as being a company servant he is dealing in sheet copper privately, an article for EICo handling only, he is exonerated, seems Adamson later Marine store keeper and Bombay paymaster, Scott resigns from EICo board in April 1802, Adamson more or less then forced to resign, he did continue with his own private trading, Adamson first came to Bombay as a yonng writer in 1766, a puncilious workaholic, religious overmuch, he gave up hope of returning to England, Adamson a former partner with James Tate who bankrupts in 1800. In 1789 Adamson tenders his first EICo ship supplying by 1798-1807 Adamsons owns/manages eleven ships, to Govt for trip to CGHope, qv, Per Iseke and from book on Bombay countryu ships, before 1800 Scott Snr is partner with Alexander Adamson qv. Perhaps links to James Tate also as Adamson dealt with Tate (qv) Not in Hodson lists. In Christie, non-elite MPs, p. 71, he made a fortune as a free merchant at Bombay 1762-1786 and became a Dir EICo when he came home. He dealt in London with the wealthy and eccentric John Farquhar qv. This man had been in Bombay, he returned to London, a free trader wanting less monopoly on shipping, in 1786 to act for his firm. He became a director partly by influence of Dundas, who relied heavily on Scott's knowledge of affairs in India (Scott in turn relied in his partner Adamson's advice). A zealous follower of Dundas till ill health in 1802 forced him into retirement. See Parker's essay on Scots in India in RA Cage's book, pp. 200ff, this man has a nephew named Shank. this man is one of three firms having a "stranglehold" on the Bombay economy. See Frost, Cons and Empire, p. 192, in 1796 as British take Cape of Good Hope, EICo fears of illicit trade, dep-chairman David Scott discounted ideas that BBay ships might engage in smuggling, noted they had a freight out with govermnment, freights for EICo if any were regulated by the Court of Directors. See notes on Fairlie, Ferguson and Co, qv. S. B. Singh, p. 283, with commercial trouble in Bengal over indigo from 1827, 1830, Indian merchants unwilling to deal with Europeans, in Jan 1832 a house Scott and Co failed, which affected Messrs Alexander and Co. Matters worse in 1833. Colvin failed in 1833, so did Fergusson and Co, and Cruttenden, Mackillip and Co in 1834, so seven great agency houses failed in four years, this depleted the commercial credit of the EICo presidency. Some junior firms came in, some with bases at Liverpool. The EICo ceased to be commercial in 1834. S. B. Singh index. p. 13, in 1795 Scott tried to get a Genoese commission for Mr [Rbt] Hamilton [is this RBT Hamilton any link to anyone interesting?] to stay in China as consul to establish a house of agency there with Mr Shank as a partner. He wrote to Wm Fairlie about it, competing with Magniac etc, presumably), Mr Shank was Mr Scott's nephew and chief mate on one of Mr Tate's ships, re links to Madras and Bengal. See letter D. Scott snr or jnr to William Fairlie of London, in 1795, in Barooah cited below. See Cf, Nirode K. Barooah, (954.03), David Scott in North-East India, 1804-1831: A Study in British Paternalism. New Delhi. Munshiram Manoharlal, 1970. re Assam. See also Price, One Family, p. 220. There were later links (unspecified) with Robert Campbell merchant of Sydney and David Scott Jnr. Dear Pauline, this is all quite important and a great improvement on what I have. Great! Cheers, Dan - The following is taken from a book called "David Scott in N.E.India 1802- >1831, study in British paternalism" which gives a little more detail on his family tree. Davis Scott's date of birth given as 14.5.1786 in the family of Scott of Usan and Dunninald in N.E.Scotland. (He did not go out to India until 1804 approx. ) His father was Archibald Scott who married twice. Firstly to Elizabeth RENNY by whom he had two daughters whose names are not given but she was the daughter of Robert Renny. Elizabeth died in 1761. Secondly Archibald married Margaret CHALMERS daughter of Principal Chalmers of Kings College Aberdeen. They had 4 children Isabella, Robert, Anne, and David (of NE India) . David's brother Robert was the first to go to India as a Writer in Bengal. He was a nominee of Henry Dundas. Both brothers were influenced by their Uncle also a David Scott whose dates are given as 1746-1805. Robert in fact married David senior's daughter (name not given but it may have been Amelia or Louise) David juniors sister Anne married Archibald WATSON. David himself attended Musselburg Academy and became a Writer of HEIC in 1801 then later worked ambitiously as Agent to the Governor General of India. But he had a diseased heart and died at Cherrapunji in 1831 unmarried. His Grandfather was Robert Scott MP (1705-?) an Advocate of Dunninald and MP for Angus 1732 -34 and Freeholder of Forfar in 1743. I presume therefore it was David Scott senior who was EIC Director and Chairman on his return from India? Pauline Currien - below is from Byrnes per a website - New research indicates that Scott had a greater role in promoting the fur trade from north-west America to Canton than has been thought. We find from a website - "James Strange was based in India where he worked for the East India Company. In the early 1780s, he spent time recuperating in Britain, where he learned of Cook's voyages and the sea otter pelts of north-west America. On his return to Bombay, he persuaded David Scott, a local merchant, to form a company to finance a trip to Nootka Sound to obtain pelts. Two local Bombay-built ships were obtained. The Captain Cook, (formerly Betsey), was a 350-ton snow, commanded by Henry Laurie, and the Experiment was a 100-ton snow, commanded by Henry Guise. James Strange was to travel on board Captain Cook/Betsey. Originally, the plan was for the ships to obtain Portuguese papers at Goa that would allow then to trade at Macao. The ships sailed, however, on 8 December 1785, and went straight to Batavia (Jakarta) on Java. From there they sailed to Nootka and arrived off the coast of Vancouver Island on 25 June 1786 near Hope Bay." Scott was far more than "the local merchant" the website suggests! Scott's promoted Strange's expedition not long before Scott left for London, never to return to India. Scott's vision for promoting fur sales to Macao/Canton was presumably part of his high-level plan to reorganise opium trade, which suggests of course that as early as 1786, Scott had foreseen that a union of opium and fur sales to China would be advantageous, the fur sales being part of a necessary market - not a luxury market - in China, the clothing market. As later events would indicate, such a union would unify and repressurise two flows of silver in and out of Chinese ports, and through the Chinese counting houses, linking a necessary exchange of silver with an unnecessary one. (Scott would have known, of course, that the East India Company had long had a theoretical, if somewhat pretentious, monopoly on the exploitation of the resources of the Pacific Ocean.) But Scott here also probably miscalculated on what became a major factor for the fur markets of Canton - the intervention of American merchants. However, what seems clear is that the idea of linking the opium and fur markets of China was not simply an idea of the British East India Company, it was an idea from David Scott Snr! Marilyn Mason says that Eliz Rushen's book on female immigrants to Oz says that the ship with emigrants, David Scott, of 1834 or so, was owned by merchants Gilmore and Sons of Stamford Hill Midx, chartered by the London Emigration Committee, John Marshall the agent.
