Peter Gaussen (1723–1788)[1] was Governor of the Bank of England from 1777 to 1779. He was born Jean-Pierre Gaussen in Geneva, the son of Paul Gaussen, a French Huguenot, and moved to London in 1739.[2] He was Deputy Governor of the Bank of England from 1776 to 1777. He replaced Samuel Beachcroft as governor in 1777 (in doing so he became the first foreign-born governor of the Bank of England)[3] and was succeeded in turn by Daniel Booth in 1779.[4] In 1755 he had married his second cousin Anna Bosanquet, the daughter of Samuel Bosanquet.[2] Their third-born (but first surviving) son, Samuel Robert Gaussen (1759–1812) was MP for Warwick (1796–1802)[3] and a collector of the works of prominent landscape painter Paul Sandby.[5] Peter bought Brookmans Manor in Hertfordshire as a gift for Samuel in 1786.[1] See also
