Timothy Lannoy, Esq. ( - 1718)

Merchant trading with Turkey and principally Aleppo. His father was British Consul of Aleppo from 1659 to 1672. He is probably the same mentioned by Hearne in his diary dated Sunday, 21 September, 1718:
On Sunday, the 21 inst Sir Timothy Lannoy, a Turkey Merchant, died suddenly at Hampstead, said to be worth 150000L, and 'tis said that Dr. Huchinson of Hammersmith, late Fellow of Queen's Coll., Oxon. (the same that opposed the present Provost of that Coll.), who marry'd his Daughter (very lately), without his Consent, will have by his Death 35000L (Hearne, 6.233).
He and fellow merchant Aaron Goodyear explored the ancient site of Palmyra. He is probably the "Mr. Lanoy" named as a benefactor in the 1731 edition of the Saltero catalogue.
