1745: Circa 5 August, sails from Liverpool ship
Gildart, Capt. Richard Holme, to arrive Port North,
Potomack, Maryland with Scottish "rebels". Ship owned by Lord Mayor
of Liverpool, Richard Gildart. On the Gildart family, we find other
linkages. This Richard Gildart had a daughter Harriet who married
London brewer Andrew Reid... (Per emailer Dave Reid to this
website...) This Andrew Reid founded Reid's Brewery in London about
1800. His brother(s) dealt in the East opium; David Reid a major
opium trader in year?; with a brother David who was "a Danish
military officer". One such Reid brother arrived in 1780 in China
as Austrian Consul to China, and he became a partner with John
Henry Cox; also with a connection with firm Reid and Beale, see re
David and Thomas Beale, who with Alexander Shank formed the China
agency of Reid and Beale, which became Beale and Magniac which
became in 1832, Jardine-Matheson. There were also Andrew and David
Reid, possibly sons of one of the brothers, who went into Fairlie,
Reid and Co. of Calcutta, and Gildart his partner qv. See website (now defunct, is 404): once at: http://maxpages.com/ourlostfamily/Prison_Ships

John Stewart once said, that the transporting of criminals was left to "the most corruptible class" of traders and he once described his former partner, Andrew Reid, as a "person against whom almost every species of complaint was made". (As cited in Coldham, Bonded Passengers. Note that Stewart was complained of in the colonies as a profiteer.)
