An early eighteenth-century bookpile bookplate labelled "John David Barbutt" is suggested by Brian North Lee to have belonged to the David John Barbett (b.1709) who was at [[organisations::Merchant Taylors School]] in 1721-2, but he was unable to trace any further biographical information. Other scraps of information from the web suggest that he may have been the son of [[family::Isaac Barbut]] of the [[organisations::Post Office]] in London, that he was born in Konigsberg and became a naturalised British citizen in 1753, and that he was living around that time in Cartwright Street, London. He seems also to have followed his father as secretary of the Post Office.

An early eighteenth-century bookpile bookplate labelled "John David Barbutt" (Franks 1409) is suggested by Brian North Lee to have belonged to the David John Barbett (b.1709) who was at Merchant Taylors School in 1721-2, but he was unable to trace any further biographical information. Other scraps of information from the web suggest that he may have been the son of Isaac Barbut of the Post Office in London, that he was born in Konigsberg and became a naturalised British citizen in 1753, and that he was living around that time in Cartwright Street, London. He seems also to have followed his father as secretary of the Post Office.
