Fellowes, James, Sir, 1771-1857,

Sir James Fellowes was born in Edinburgh, attended the University of Cambridge, and served as a surgeon in the British Navy from 1794 to 1814. He was knighted for his service in 1809, and after his retirement from the Navy he resided in Bath, England. Early in 1815, he met Hester Lynch Piozzi of Bath, a widowed literary woman who had been a friend of Samuel Johnson. Fellowes and Piozzi became good friends until her death six years later. He collected portions of her life story, assisted in her unsuccessful efforts to find a publisher for her manuscript Lyford Redivivus, and offered her advice on her financial affairs. In March of 1816, he married Elizabeth James, and the two spent their honeymoon at Mrs. Piozzi's Streatham Park estate. They were the final guests at Streatham Park before it was sold in May of 1816. Fellowes served as Piozzi's literary executor.
