Biography

Isle of Man flag
Alexander Johnston was born in the Isle of Man

Alexander Lawrie/Laurie Johnston was one of the earliest British pioneer merchants of Singapore. He founded the trading company A. L. Johnstone & Co. in Singapore, 1820, and was respected and liked, due to his fair dealings with business partners and those who knew him. A pier at Singapore was named after him.[1]

Birth and Parentage

Alexander was born on Camlork Farm, near Douglas, on the Isle of Man, on or just before 1 January 1783, his christening date, youngest son of farmer, James Johnston of Camlork, and his wife Elizabeth, née Lawrie. [2] He had two siblings, born before him; the oldest, William; then Jane, and after his father died at the age of 36 in November 1784, his pregnant mother gave birth to his youngest sister, Joan. It seems that Elizabeth took her children back to Urr, Kircudbright, on the coast of Dumfriesshire, Scotland, where she had been married. [3] She died at Rerwick (sic) Park, Kirkcudbright, Scotland on 13 July 1838 and was buried at Old Rerrick Kirkyard. The Find My Past record [4] states that she died on 13 July, but the grave inscription records her death on 13 August 1838. [5]

Opium Ships at Lintin, China[6]

Little is known of Alexander between his birth and the age of 12, when he became a midshipman and went to sea with the East India Company merchant navy. He worked his way up the ranks to Chief Mate and then leaving the Merchant Navy, becoming an independent sea captain. [7]In 1819[8] or 1820, seeing the business potential in Singapore, [9]he joined with other early pioneers, including Sir T. Stanford Raffles, in building up the early pioneer community there.


Early Singapore Harbour[10]
Around 1823, he secured a piece of dry land on the western bank of the Singapore River, on which he built a new warehouse and home.[11]

By 1827, Singapore had a male population of 10,307; females numbered 3,443. Of these, 69 men and 18 women were European; vastly outnumbered by the Chinese and Malays. The town had established itself as a place with a well-filled harbour and a busy population; the streets were described as broad and clean, and the houses, new and neatly constructed of wood, with red-tiled roofs, impressing a writer who visited the port on a tour of the East.[12]

Making a reputation for himself as a liberal and generous host, Johnston became known as someone who was as concerned for the welfare of Singaporeans, whether European, Arab or Chinese, and built up in the opinion of those who knew him, respect and affection. [7]

It may be mentioned as characteristic of the readiness of Mr Johnston to respond to the call of the unfortunate, that in the earliest cash book which seems to have been opened after he commenced business in Singapore, the first entry at his personal debt is as follows:
"A.L. Johnston - paid subscription for release of female European slave -$10 [7]


Raffles, who became a close friend, made him a magistrate under Regulation III, of 20 Jan 1823 [11]and a member of the Town Committee. Concerned about establishing quality education in the town, [13]he

was one of the Trustees of the Singapore Institution and the firm of A.L. Johnston acted as Treasurer to the Institution. Raffles had money invested in the firm, for we have Lady Raffles writing to her sister-in-law, Mary Anne Flint on 6 May 1826, after the collapse of the agency house of Thomas Macquoid, expressing the hope that the money from Johnson's (sic) House will come safe home, or we shall be ruined & not have health to begin in the world again.[14]

The Singapore Institution was involved in the raising of monies for the furthering of education; Alexander's name was on the list of subscribers. [15]

Following Raffles' death in 1826, Alexander Laurie Johnston was one of the members of a committee formed on 30 Jan 1827 to decide on a fitting memorial to the founder of Singapore. A. L. Johnston & Co undertook to act as Treasurer, receive contributions and gave a subscription of $100 to the fund. [16] On 18 October 1827, he was also appointed as one of the Justices of the Peace for the Three Settlements. [17]

By 1826, his trading company, A. L. Johnston & Co, had become Singapore's largest merchant house.[19][20][21]

The company traded in commodities such as opium, pepper, gambier and spices, and acted as agents for a variety of enterprises, including steamers, banks, and insurance companies. [22][23]


On 26 Sept 1836 he was the foreman among other local dignitaries, including Joseph Balestier, in a Grand Inquest held before the Hon. Samuel George Bonham. [24]

In 1837, Singapore's Chamber of Commerce was founded, of which Alexander Laurie Johnston became the first President. [19][25]

He finally left Singapore in 1841, possibly because of ill health, which, perhaps because of characteristic modesty, he had never mentioned to his friends, because they were surprised at the announcement of his departure. He embarked on the Charles Grant for Bombay with his friends Mr Alexander Guthrie and Mr William Spottiswood.[26] They then took the steamer Berenice from Bombay to Suez, [27]sailed from Alexandria on the steamer Oriental via Malta to Falmouth, Cornwall. [28]

Falmouth Harbour - 1840s[29]
He then travelled to Scotland[7] to his mother's family's home region of Kirkcudbrightshire, to the village of Auchencairn, to Bluehill, a farm of 100 acres[30] which his elderly sister spinster Jane Johnston was farming for the Galloway landowner, William Charles Stewart Hamilton, 5th of Craighlaw, Kirkcowan, [31]who died before 1879. The farm had previously been owned by a Mrs H. Johnstone. Whether there was a family connection is unknown. [32][33]

In 1841 Jane was farming at Rerwick Park, and her married sister Joan Burnet was farming at Shaw Hill, not far away. [34]

In 1845 the inhabitants of the area were described by the local minister, the Rev. James Thomson,

peaceable, humane and hospitable, have a lively sense of decorum and character, and many of them give indubitable proofs that their minds are deeply imbued with rational piety. This was the character of the people of Rerrick in 1794 and at the distance of half a century, they have in no respect forfeited their claim to it. [33]

The little harbour town of Kirkcudbright, at the mouth of the R. Dee, about 10 miles away, was described in 1844 as

Small, clean, silent, and respectable; it seems ... the type of a place to which decent characters and moderate purses would retire for quiet comfort.[35]


Death

In the 68th year of his life, Alexander L Johnston died on 19 February 1850 at Blue Hill Farm, where his siser Jane was farming a year later. [36][37]

The author of his obituary in the Singapore Free Press on 19 April 1850 wrote

To the deep regret of all who knew him on this Island, the news of the death of Alexander Laurie Johnston, Esquire......To know him was to know an honest man and a warm friend. ....he was one of the most sterling of the “worthies” of Singapore.[11]


Johnston's Pier [38]
Mr. A. L. Johnston, the contemporary of Sir S. Raffles, and who was much in the confidence of that eminent man, although he had resided in Europe for several years before his death, to the last took a most lively interest in Singapore, and by his will left a handsome donation to the Institution.[39]


The following April,

a subscription was made for the purpose of making a steel engraving of the painted likeness of the late Mr. A. L. Johnston, of which there are now copies in the Library, and in several of the mercantile offices.[39]


A.L. Johnston & Co finally went into liquidation in 1892. [40]

Research Notes

Marriage

Whether he married and had children is not certain, although unconfirmed information in the internet indicates that he may have been: [41] [42]

The wedding between Henry Clement Johnston, son of Mr. R. T. Johnston of Alnwick, Northumberland, and Candalaria Louiza, daughter of Don Manuel Diáz da Castella of Tampico, Mexico took place in Singapore, at the church of the Good Shepherd, on 9th November 1876, the Rev. A. L. Daguin officiating. [43] Whether HCJ was a relative of ALJ is not yet known.
