Alexander Ellice of Mark Lane

Commercial Role

(Canada)

Notes

Merchant in Phyn Ellice: 'In his remarkable 40-year business association with the Canadas, Alexander Ellice had contributed much to their economic life, which depended so heavily on the fur trade. The place he had opened for the Ellices in colonial affairs would endure, with modifications, until the seigneury of Beauharnois passed out of the family in 1866.'
