Sir William Lemon

Copper industrialist in Cornwall, banker and MP for more than half a century. An agreement of 16/10/1783 by Sir William Lemon and James Willyams the younger on behalf of themselves and John Furly and John Lubbock of Mansion House bankers appointing Charles Ashwell as attorney in St Vincent showed that Andrew Ross merchant formerly of London but then of St Vincent owed them £1855 9s and 5d as of 31/07 'last past' [presumably 1783], and that to secure his debt Ross had offered the property in St Vincent that had been assigned to him by John Byres in 1774 to secure £5000 from Byres, as well as the £5000 debt itself. The land was later in the deed identified as 'Mount Scratch' of 470 acres: this estate evolved into Belmont and Golden Vale.
