Biography

London banker and a key figure in the evolution of Drummonds private bank (a predecessor firm of RBS). He was party with Sir William Templer Pole and others of a deed of 1807 concerning estates on St Kitts which LBS has not yet accessed, but to which he was probably party as the co-trustee and co-executor with Scrope Berdmore (q.v.) of the will of John Compton, the father of Henry Combe Compton, the co-owner of the estates with Sir William Templer Pole.
