Text source
Alexander Patillo was a merchant burgess of Dundee operating in Sweden and the Baltic from as early as 1679. On 5 December 1679 he wrote a letter to George Earl of Panmure and Jean, Dowager Countess of Panmure regarding salt which was to be sent to Riga. On 11 September 1686, Patrick Thomson [SSNE 6475] noted the arrival of two Glasgow ships in Stockholm which had been consigned to 'Patilo'. On 24 June 1687 the name Alexander 'Pattillo' appears on a set of accounts relating to goods consigned by Patrick Thomson to Andrew Russell [SSNE 143] in Rotterdam. These included two batches of iron on board 'The Mary' a ship belonging to John Gib elder [SSNE 7071]. The value of the shipment was 6958;32 (pounds?). In January he appears as merchant dealing in copper and stockings while in June his iron appears aboard the ship 'The Mary' belonging to John Gib (Elder) [SSNE 7071]. Pattillo had previously consigned some 1982 bars of iron worth some 6958 copper daler. Another Scot shipping on the same ship was James Maistertoun [SSNE 6696]. Maistertoun took responsibility for the burial of one of Alexander's children in Maria Kyrka on 22 August 1684. Alexander buried one of his own children in the same church on 5 June 1688 and a Scottish sailor called Johan Baahaart or Beakert on 21 January 1687.
