Thomas Graham (apothecary)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Memorial, St Mary's, Harrow on the Hill

Thomas Graham (c. 1666 - 14 May 1733)[citation needed] was apothecary to King George I and George II, and was apothecary general to the British army.

Graham served his apprenticeship in Scotland, from which country he hailed, and was admitted as a "foreign brother" of the Society of Apothecaries on 14 September 1698.[1]

Thomas died at his home in Pall Mall in London and was buried at St Mary's, Harrow on the Hill, where a wall plaque commemorates him and his wife Anne.

His son was Daniel Graham (c. 1695 - 1788)[citation needed] who was apothecary to King George II, King George III and Chelsea College Hospital. A granddaughter- Daniel's daughter, Henrietta- was the mother of Robert Malthus.[2]
