Louis Leon Pajot, Comte d’ Ons-en-Bray, was a 17th and 18th century personality, not unlike Sloane. He is listed as being a watchmaker, a philosopher, a researcher, a physicist, a chemist, a mathematician, a meteorologist, an astronomer, a naturalist, a botanist, a pteacher, a collector and a mechanical enthusiast.

He had gathered remarkable collections, a cabinet of curiosities that was visited by Peter the Great, Tsar and Emperor of Russia . It is said that during the 18 ^th century the greatest sovereigns of Europe and the Arab countries crowded Pajot’s home to admire its collections and attend demonstrations.

He also created an anemometer, a device used to measure the wind speed, meaning Pajot created the oldest scientific instrument known to have a data recording system.

As it is a very unusual name, the David Tullideph who wrote to Sloane in letter 4209 could possibly have been a merchant of Wisbech, Cambridgeshire. This David Tullideph was born in Scotland in 1705, and would have been 29 at the time this letter was written. Aside from a mention of a brother who may have known Sloane but was not a Fellow of the Royal Society, and an eagerness to visit Sloane at some point, it is unknown what connection he had to Sloane.
