Excerpt: ...resided in one of the West India islands. In 1814 he became one of the managers of the "Merchants' House" of Glasgow, and also a director of the "Chamber of Commerce and Manufactures." Dur Pg 127 ing the same year, being unfortunate in merchandise, he was induced to abandon the concerns of business.
