John Wentworth, A Complete System of Pleading: Comprehending the Most Approved Precedents ...Vol. I (1797) p. 389 et seq. shows a group of trustees of the estate of Miles Barber comprising James Baillie, Richard [sic], William Clay, William Taylor, John Shoolbred, John Barnes and Francis Henry [Shepherd]. The case concerned insurance of ship named the Eleanor with William Cazalet, and appears to have concerned Miles Barber of Lothbury in London who was bankrupt by 1790. The voyage of the Eleanor in 1785-7 does not appear in the TASTDB.
Rawley London: Metropolis of the Slave Trade confuses James Baillie of Bedford Square and Ealing Grove MP d. 1793 (pp. 131 and 136) with James Baillie of Bedford Square d. c. 1828 (p. 141). The man of the voyage has been inferred by DBS to be James Bailie of Bedford Square.
