David Barclay

Politician.

David Barclay was only a distant relative of the Barclay bankers. Barclay Brothers and Company failed in 1847 with heavy exposure in Mauritius, apparently taken on after Emancipation.

History of Parliament states that ‘He presented a Penryn anti-slavery petition, 30 May 1828’.
