James Lent Barclay (October 5, 1848 – July 2, 1925) was an American member of New York society during the Gilded Age. [1]
Barclay was born on October 5, 1848, in Newtown on Long Island. [2] He was the third child and second son of four children born to Henry Barclay (1794–1863) and Sarah Ann Moore (1809–1873). [3] His siblings were Henry Anthony Barclay (1844–1905), [4] Fannie Barclay (1846–1922), and Sackett Moore Barclay (1850–1918). [3] [5]
His maternal grandfather was Daniel Sackett Moore. [3] His paternal great oncle is Thomas Henry Barclay (1753–1830).
Barclay attended Columbia University. [1] He is recorded as matriculating with the class of 1870, but it is unsure if he finished the degree. [6] He was president of the Barclay Realty Company which was located at 299 Broadway in Manhattan. [7] The company managed his family's extensive real estate holdings, generally located near Barclay Street, named for his ancestors. [1]
In 1892, both Barclay and his wife Olivia were included in Ward McAllister's " Four Hundred", purported to be an index of New York's best families, published in The New York Times. [8] Conveniently, 400 was the number of people that could fit into Mrs. Astor's ballroom. [9]
He was a member of the Union Club, of which he was a governor, Shinnecock Hills Golf Club, Meadow Brook Golf Club, and the Southampton Club. [1]
Barclay was married to Olivia Mott Bell (1855–1894). [10] She was the daughter of Isaac Bell and Adelaide (née Mott) Bell, [11] and the sister of Isaac Bell Jr. (1846–1889), the businessman and diplomat. [12] Before her death, they were the parents of one daughter: [2]
After the death of his first wife in 1894, he married Priscilla Palmer Dixon (1851–1924), [20] the widow of Thomas Chalmers Sloane (1847–1890) of the W. & J. Sloane Company, on April 16, 1896, at her home on West 51st Street in Manhattan. [2] She was the daughter of Courtlandt Palmer Dixon (1817–1883) and Hannah Elizabeth (née Williams) Dixon (1817–1888), a cousin of U.S. Representative and Senator Nathan F. Dixon III, a niece of Nathan F. Dixon II, and a granddaughter of U.S. Senator Nathan Fellows Dixon. [20]
Barclay died at his home, 15 West 48th Street in New York on July 2, 1925. [21] He was buried at Woodlawn Cemetery in the Bronx. [1]
Barclays owned a six-acre estate in Southampton, New York, with a 13,000 square foot Colonial Revival home. The home was later owned by producer Martin Richards and Mary Lea Johnson Richards. [22]
