Samuel Jones Loyd, 1st Baron Overstone

Banker.

National Gallery Trustee (1850–1871).

History of Parliament suggests that ‘he may have been the ’J.J. Lloyd‘ who was listed in the majority against Brougham’s condemnation of the conviction of the Methodist missionary John Smith for exciting insurrection among the slaves in Demerara, 11 June 1824. (Eight years later he was publicly accused, on the strength of this evidence, of favouring slavery, but he strongly denied the charge.)’. (David R. Fisher, ‘LOYD, Samuel Jones (1796-1883), of 22 New Norfolk Street, Park Lane, Mdx.’, in History of Parliament Trust (ed.), The History of Parliament: British Political, Social & Local History [online], London, 1964 -, 1820-1832, <https://www.historyofparliamentonline.org/volume/1820-1832/member/loyd-samuel-1796-1883> accessed 5 August 2021.)
