Colonial Despatches

William Pitt Adams, born on 11 December 1804, was Her Majesty's Charge d'Affaires and Consul General to Peru; Adams expressed that British subjects in Peru showed interest in settlement on Vancouver Island in 1849, however he never followed through with promoting this settlement due to a lack of information provided to him by the Hudson's Bay Company.1

In 1817, Adams married Georgiana-Emily Lukin with whom he had one daughter.2 Adams died in Lima, Peru on 1 September 1852.3
