Synopsis
Excerpt from Chambers's Miscellany, Vol. 9: Of Instructive Entertaining Tracts
The subject of our memoir was the elder of two sons, the only Children of the Greenock merchant and his wife. The younger, who was named John, had resolved to follow his father's profession, but was drowned in 1763 on a voyage from Greenock to America, at the age of twenty-three years. James Watt, who was then in his twenty seventh year, was thus left the only surviving son.
