About David Barclay of Youngsbury

David Barclay of Youngsbury was a British merchant, banker and philanthropist. He is notable for an experiment in "gratuitous manumission", in which he freed the slaves on his Jamaican plantation and arranged for better futures for them in Pennsylvania. His legacy was as one of the founders of the present-day Barclays Bank, a century ahead of its formation under that name, and in the brewing industry.
