Andrew D. Barclay, a merchant, was born on August 30, 1773 (Moffat 107). In 1791 he took over the business of his father James and went into partnership with James McEvers in the auctioneering and commissions firm McEvers & Barclay (McBean 303). McEvers died in 1797, leaving Barclay in business alone. Barclay was a manager of the St. Andrew's Society from 1797-1799 (Morrison 191, 251).
