James Chabot (1778-1850) of London married Harriet Beek, the aunt of explorer Dr. Charles T Beke. He traded as a Merchant in Malta at least between 1804 -1815 and is recorded as a 'commercial broker' in London thereafter, subsequently moving to live at Mexico City, where he died a 'Merchant of this City' trading mainly in hardwoods. It was in Mexico where Alexander F Low married his daughter, Mary Ann Julia Chabot (1816-1899). [Source: Anna Philpott]
