Josias Du Pre
Josias Du Pre〔Also Du Pré, Dupré or Dupre.〕 (1721 – 1780) was an English merchant, a director of the East India Company and Governor of Madras.
==Life==
He joined the civil service of the East India Company in 1752, as a factor, and rose through a succession of positions. He spent a period in England in the 1760s, and married there.〔 He purchased the Wilton Park Estate in Buckinghamshire from the Basil family, in 1760,〔 or around 1770.〔'Parishes: Beaconsfield', A History of the County of Buckingham: Volume 3 (1925), pp. 155-165.

Du Pre was Governor of Madras from 1770 to 1773. He was mostly preoccupied with the construction of fortifications there. His authority was circumscribed: Eyre Coote, the military commander, and Sir John Lindsay who had overall command in the East Indies, left him little room in which to operate.〔
Du Pre at the end of his life became a Fellow of the Royal Society, owing the honour to his appointment two decades earlier of Alexander Dalrymple as his deputy. He died at Beaconsfield.〔
