I am treated very formally by Evan Fraser

June 1806: based on Thomas Staunton St Clair
An invitation from Simon Fraser of Belladrum, a good friend of Thomas’s commanding officer Colonel Nicholson, to visit plantation Geanies, on the supposedly healthier east sea-coast, near the Corentyne river. The plantation schooner, which had been delivering a cargo of cotton to New Amsterdam, called at the Fort on the evening of Sunday 8th June and Thomas, growing weaker, ‘with difficulty crawled on board’. A four-hour sail took him to Geanies, which Simon Fraser managed on behalf of the owner – Stabroek merchant, John Macleod, a son of Donald Macleod of Geanies in Ross-shire. Simon’s brother, Evan, owned the neighbouring plantation, Brighton . . . On the Friday 13th they sat down to dinner at Geanies in a larger party. Dr Gordon, a nephew of Macleod of Geanies, had arrived intent on exploring the Corantyne and, if possible, visiting the settlement of German Moravian missionaries in the remote forest . . . Dr Gordon persuaded Thomas to join him, along with four others – Simon Fraser’s younger brother Evan, Mr King, William Brummel and Mr Inglis.

Mr Evan D Fraser returned a week ago from Barbados where he had been for his health – now recovered. Very fine cotton property in Berbice but is greatly involved – immense crop this year which will go a long way to wipe off his Debts and I trust he will soon get through.

Stephen Foster: Early in 1813 William Macpherson sailed from Stabroek (recently renamed George Town in honour of George III). He escaped in time to miss an exceptionally bad season for illness, which carried away many planters, including his old friend Evan Fraser.
