Josiah Child
Sir Josiah Child, 1st Baronet (1630 – 22 June 1699) was an English merchant and politician. He was an economist proponent of mercantilism and governor of the East India Company.
==Early life==
Child was born in about 1630 and baptised in 1631, the second son of Richard Child a merchant of Fleet Street (buried 1639 at Hackney) and Elizabeth Roycroft of Weston Wick, Shropshire.〔Although the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography states positively that he was not related to the Child & Co bankers of Osterley Park, Burke's Armorials 1884 provides evidence to the contrary, giving both families the same armourials: "Gules, a chevron ermine between 3 eagles close argent". (See Villiers, Earls of Jersey, into which family the banking Child family married). The earliest bearer of these Child arms was William Childe, sheriff of Worcestershire in 1585. Burke's Armorials, 1884, p.193. Child & Childe; p.1057 Villiers, Earls of Jersey.〕 After serving his apprenticeship in the family business, to which after much struggle he succeeded, he started on his own account at Portsmouth, as victualler to the navy under the Commonwealth, when about twenty-five; he is also described as "agent to the Navy Treasurer".〔Biog. by Philip Mould Ltd, Art Dealers, London〕 He amassed a comfortable fortune,〔William Addison, ''Essex Worthies'' (Philimore, 1973)〕 and became a considerable stock-holder in the East India Company. In 1659, he was elected Member of Parliament for Petersfield in the Third Protectorate Parliament. He was elected MP for Dartmouth in 1673 in a by-election to the Cavalier Parliament.〔( History of Parliament Online - Child, Josiah )〕
