William Sandeman
William Sandeman (born Luncarty, Scotland 1722, died Perth, Scotland 1790) was a leading Perthshire linen and later cotton manufacturer. For instance in 1782 alone, Perthshire produced 1.7 million yards of linen worth £81,000. Linen manufacture became by the 1760s a major Scottish industry, second only to agriculture.〔Brown, P. Hume: ''History of Scotland, Vol. iii. From the Revolution of 1689 to the Year 1910''. (Cambridge University Press, 1911). See page 285. The total value of linen produced throughout Scotland during the year 1770-1771 was £ 632,389.〕
William was born in 1722 in Luncarty just north of Perth, Scotland the fifth child of David Sandeman and his second wife Margaret Ramsay. William with his first wife Christina Fleming had two children. With his second wife Mary Anderson he had a further 14 children (five of whom married five of the 20 children of Hector Turnbull, his bleachfield's business partner). In 1740, Robert and William Sandeman started a weaving business together, though Robert's expanding church duties in Dundee and Edinburgh removed him from the family business.〔Smith, John Howard: ''The Perfect Rule of the Christian Religion: A History of Sandemanianism in the Eighteenth Century'', SUNY (Albany, NY, 2008). See pages 68 and 81.〕 William was exposed to the Glasite faith after the Perth meeting house first opened in 1733.〔Cantor, Geoffrey: ''Michael Faraday, Sandemanian and Scientist: A Study of Science and Religion in the Nineteenth Century'', Macmillan (Hampshire, 1991). See page 23.〕 He was later elected an elder of the Perth congregation for several years. In this position, he was expected to lead the congregation in both the worship and community service. As part of his Glasite obligations, he journeyed with his brother Robert in the first attempt to form a London Sandemanian congregation in 1761. When Robert extracted himself from the family business, William found another willing partner in Hector Turnbull. He was buried in the Greyfriars graveyard Perth with the inscription ''"William Sandeman manufacturer Perth and bleacher at Luncarty"''.
==Linen manufacture and spinning around Perth==
He manufactured linen in Perth and nearby Luncarty, for instance with an order of 12,000 to 15,000 yards of "Soldiers' shirting". In 1752 he leveled of bleachfields in Luncarty. By 1790 when William died, the Luncarty bleachfields covered and processed 500,000 yards of cloth annually.
