John Buttery
John Buttery (c1829/1831—29 Nov. 1912) was a merchant operating in the Straits Settlements of Penang, Malacca and Singapore. He was, at the time of his death, the senior partner of Sandilands, Buttery & Co. (Penang and Singapore), and John Buttery & Co. (London, transferred from Glasgow in 1875).
It is uncertain exactly when John Buttery arrived in Straits Settlements or when he left, but his coming may have had to do with Walter Scott Lorrain, whose signature he (or his father)stood witness for, in Glasgow, when Lorrain gave notice of withdrawing from his partnership in Brown & Co., Penang, on 6 November 1847.〔The London Gazette, Issue 20793. 16 November 1847: 4108. Print: "(from the Edinburgh Gazette of November 9, 1847. ) Glasgow, November 6, 1847. The undersigned hereby intimates, that, from and after the 31st December 1845, his interest and responsibility ceased in the firm of Messrs. Brown and Co. Penang. W. S. Lorrain. James Stephen, Witness. John Buttery, Witness."〕〔It is possible that the Lorrain had left the colony for some time, and not hearing anything from him for months, Brown decided to terminate their relationship; The Singapore Free Press and Mercantile Advertiser (1835—1869) 7 May 1846: 1: "Notice. The Interest and responsibility of Mr. Walter Scott Lorrain inour Firm ceased on 31st December, 1845. Brown & Co. Pinang, 24th March, 1846."〕
== James Scott and David Brown, 1800—1808 ==
Brown & Co. was established by David Brown, a qualified lawyer from Longformacus (Berwickshire, Scotland) who, when he arrived in Penang in 1800, helped sort out the financial problems plaguing the spice business of James Scott, Francis Light's former partner, who had overextended himself. And while Brown managed to extricate Scott from his situation, it wasn't long before Scott overextended himself again. Scott died a bankrupt in 1808 and Brown acquired much of Scott's property and set himself up as a planter. Brown died in 1825.〔Denham, James. Village Kirks of the Borders of Scotland. Scotland: J.
