Colin Drummond (1722–1776)

Colin Drummond (1722 – 1776) was a Scottish merchant and politician who lived in Quebec, Canada.

Early life

Drummond was born in Perthshire, Scotland in 1722.[1] He was a younger son of John Drummond, 10th of Lennoch, 3rd of Megginch and the former Bethia Murray. Among his siblings were Adam Drummond, an MP who married Lady Catherine Powlett (a daughter of the 4th Duke of Bolton),[2] and Jean Drummond, who married James Murray, 2nd Duke of Atholl and, after his death,[3] Lord Adam Gordon (a younger son of the 2nd Duke of Gordon).[4]

His paternal grandfather was Adam Drummond, 9th of Lennoch, a member of the Scottish Parliament and of the Privy Council of Scotland,[a] and the former Alison Hay (daughter of John Hay of Haystoun). His uncle, Dr. Adam Drummond, was a professor of anatomy at the University of Edinburgh.[6] His mother was a daughter of James Murray of Deuchar, and a descendant of the Murrays of Philiphaugh.[7]

Career

In Perthshire, he was Collector of Excise in Perthshire before settling in the Province of Quebec in Lower Canada in 1765 as a distributor of stamps until the abolition of the Stamp Act on 1 May 1766.[1] He also served as the Quebec agent to the London firm of Sir Samuel Fludyer, Adam Drummond (his brother) & Franks, contractors for victualling the troops in North America. At Quebec, Drummond became a business partner of Jacob Jordan and John Halstead, in the wheat trade and biscuit baking from 1767 to 1769.[1]

Political career

In 1768, he was appointed deputy Commissary General, deputy Paymaster General to the Forces in the Province of Quebec and Legislative Councillor (taking oath on 24 November 1768 and served until 23 March 1775).[1] Following the Quebec Act (which was an Act of the Parliament which set procedures of governance in the Province of Quebec), Drummond appointed to the Legislative Council of the Province of Quebec under royal instructions addressed to Governor General Guy Carleton, dated 3 January 1775. He was sworn in on 17 August 1775. In 1775, Quebec City was unsuccessfully sieged by American forces. Drummond died the following year.[1]

She was a daughter of Robert Oliphant of Rossie and Jean Colville, and a sister of Robert Oliphant, a Postmaster General for Scotland, and Jane (née Oliphant) Hope, Countess of Hopetoun. Together, they were the parents of:

Drummond died in Quebec in 1776 and, four years later in 1780, his family left Quebec and returned to Scotland. As his elder brother Adam died without issue in 1786, the family estates passed to Colin's eldest son, John, who sold the former patrimonial property and, in 1795, disposed of Megginch to his brother Robert, who entailed it onto the next brother, Sir Adam Drummond.[5]

  1. ^ The barony of Lennoch was established when Sir John Drummond, 3rd Knight of Concraig, granted the lands of Lennoch in Strathearn to his second son, also named John Drummond.[5] In 1640, his descendant, John Drummond, 8th of Lennoch, purchased the barony of Megginch from Sir George Hay, ancestor of the Earl of Kinnoull.[5]

The abeyance was terminated by Queen Elizabeth II in 1965 in favour of John Drummond of Megginch, who became the 15th Baron. Drummond was the great-grandson of Lady Charlotte and Vice-Admiral Sir Adam Drummond.[8]
