Dealer Notes

Rufus King (1755-1827), was an American Founding Father, lawyer, politician and diplomat. He was a delegate from Massachusetts to the Continental Congress and Philadelphia Convention and was one of the signatories of the United States Constitution in 1787. After formation of the new Congress, he represented New York in the United States Senate. He emerged as a leading member of the Federalist Party and was the party's last presidential nominee during the 1816 presidential election.

Alexander Baring (1774-1848), 1st Baron Ashburton, MP, Privy Councillor, President of the Board of Trade, Master of the Mint. He had extensive estates in the West Indies, owned several hundred slaves, and stood to benefit a great deal from a favourable trade relationship with the USA. The Duke of Richelieu once remarked, "There are six main powers in Europe; Britain, France, Austria-Hungary, Russia, Prussia and Baring Brothers!"
