Lieut. William Dawes

Profile & Legacies Summary

???? - 1819

Biography

  1. Death April 14 [1819] at St George's Grenada of Lieut. William Dawes RN of Tufton-Hall Grenada. Will of William Dawes of Tufton Hall Grenada proved 15/10/1819. In this will, William Dawes named his eldest brother John Dawes of Threadneedle Street as primary legatee, and refers to other brothers and to his sister Harriett Mary (or Maria) Willock: William Noble of Marylebone testified to the authenticity of the will. By deduction from this and the additional information below, Henry Dawes was the brother of both William and John: conceivably the three were the sons of the banker John Dawes. Thomas Croft, William Devaynes, John Dawes and William Noble of Pall Mall were bankers whose partnership ended 30/09/1796 and was carried on as Devaynes, Dawes, Noble & Co. The firm (by then comprising John Dawes, William Noble, Richard Henry Croft and Richard Barwick) failed in 1810.
