A descendant of Mayflower passengers Richard Warren, Isaac Allerton, Degory Priest, and Francis Cooke. During a period of twelve years in China he made more than a million dollars in the tea trade in Macau, Canton, and Hong Kong, but upon returning to the United States, he lost it all in the Panic of 1857. In 1860, he returned to China and made a fortune in the notorious but highly profitable opium trade[6] supplying opium-based medication to the U. S. War Department during the American Civil War but not exclusively.[2]
