Law was born into a merchant family and became an East India Company writer in Bombay in 1715, graduating in 1720 to become a factor. In 1739 he was appointed Governor. He was recalled in 1742 following accusations of excessive expenditure in protecting the settlement from the Marathas. He retired to Broxbourne Manor, Broxbourne, England and became a Director of the Company for 1746-49, 1751–54 and 1756.[1] After his wife died in January 1785,[2] he moved to Goudhurst in Kent.[3][4] He died in 1787 at Bedgbury House, Kent, the home of his son-in-law. His daughter Stephana had married John Cartier, the ex-Governor of Bengal. His son, John Law, became the Archdeacon of Rochester.[5] References1. ^{{cite web|url=https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/12812986.pdf|title=The Directors of the East India Company, 1754-1790|publisher=James Gordon Parker|accessdate=9 December 2017}} 2. ^Arthur Jones, ed., Hertfordshire 1731-1800 as recorded in the Gentleman's Magazine, 1993, p. 207 3. ^Octavius Francis Christie, ed., The Diary of the Rev.
