Hugh Moffat (politician) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Hugh Moffat (politician)
Hugh Moffat (1810 – August 6, 1884) was a carpenter, lumberman, businessman, and mayor of Detroit, Michigan. ==Early life==
High Moffat was born in Coldstream, Scotland in 1810. He soon emigrated to America, settling first in Albany, New York, and in 1837 moving to Detroit. He began work as a carpenter, and built up a successful and profitable business as a builder,〔 constructing, among other things, Mariners' Church as well as the now demolished St. Paul's Church, Biddle House, and the Moffat Block. In 1852, he expanded his business into the lumber trade by purchasing a sawmill and forested land.〔 His lumber business was even more profitable than his carpentry had been. In 1878, Moffat took on two partners: his son Addison and Florence D. Eatherly, a "confidential employee and faithful friend."〔
