DAVID BROWN, Merchant In Dundee, Was Admitted Burgess By The Privilege Of Margaret Peddie, His Spouse, Lawful Daughter Of Bailie Andrew Peddie, Merchant, Burgess Of Dundee.
Andrew Peddie, through whose daughter Margaret, David Brown claims his freedom, was for a long time Bailie in Dundee, as was also his son Andrew Peddie of Bankhead. The former died in 1810, and the latter in 1837. It was probably through the influence of his father-in-law that David Brown was introduced to public life. He entered the Council in 1801, and continued to serve in it without intermission for twenty-five years. During this long period he was frequently Bailie, was four times elected Provost (1820-21-24-25), and also held the offices of Dean of Guild,
