Early Years THE family of Baring, originally of German extraction, but for now two centuries domiciled and naturalized citizens of this country, has for more than half that long period been conspicuous in the world of British commerce, finance, and politics. I ts founder, John, son ofF ranz Baring, a Lutheran minister of Bremen, came toE ngland in the year 1697, and established himself as a merchant and cloth manufacturer at Larkbeer, in Devonshire. His son Francis, born at that place in 1740, was sent to London to study commerce under a leading firm of city merchants. Though deaf from his youth, his indomitable energy enabled him to overcome all obstacles, and to establish his business on the surest foundations. He prospered exceedingly, and had risen to wealth and importance by the time he had reached middle age.
