Clinton Edward Dawkins
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Sir Clinton Edward Dawkins (1859-1905), was a British businessman and civil servant.
He succeeded Alfred Milner as private secretary to Chancellor of the Exchequer George Goschen in 1889. He later served overseas as undersecretary for finance in Egypt from 1895 to 1899. His final role was as financial advisor to Lord Curzon, Governor-General of India in 1899.
During 1899, he accepted an offer from the financier John Pierpont Morgan of full partnership in the London branch of his firm, J. S. Morgan & Co., where he remained until his death in 1905. He was a member of the Coefficients dining club of social reformers set up in 1902 by the Fabian campaigners Sidney and Beatrice Webb.
An indirect descendant is British science writer Richard Dawkins, who is a great-great-great-nephew to Clinton Edward.[1]
