THOMAS (EARL OF SELKIRK V) DOUGLAS - FREE FRANK SIGNED 04/09/1807 - HFSID 81239 THOMAS DOUGLAS, EARL OF SELKIRK V Free franked portion of a letter written in 1807 Free Frank Signed: "London April Nine 1807/ Selkirk/ Miss C Bennett/ Lower Donhead/ Salisbury" 4x2 face of free franked mail affixed to a 4x3 sheet. Thomas Douglas, 5th Earl of Selkirk (1771-1820), was a Scottish peer. He is best known for sponsoring immigrant settlements in Canada at the Red River Colony. After inheriting the family title and estates in 1799, Douglas began buying land to help settle poor Scottish farmers settle in the New World. He was named Lord-Lieutenant of Kirkcudbright and became a Fellow of the Royal Society in 1808. Douglas traveled all over North America, overseeing his settlements. Unfortunately, he became embroiled in conflict between the North West Company and the Hudson's Bay Company (he was allied with the latter), and eventually led an attack on Fort William that ultimately caused him significant legal trouble. When Douglas was only seven years old, he was almost kidnapped by men following orders from John Paul Jones. Lady Selkirk negotiated with the American men, who accepted silver instead of the young son of Lord Selkirk. Rippling due to adhesion of free frank to slip of paper. Toned. Ink note from a previous collector written beneath free frank. Otherwise, fine condition. See more material from these signers: THOMAS DOUGLAS See more listings in our FORIEGN LEADERS (808) category.
