	Thomas Pitt - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Thomas Pitt (July 5, 1653 – April 28, 1726), born at Blandford Forum, Dorset, to a rector and his wife, was a British merchant involved in trade with India.
		Pitt is most famous for his purchase of a 410 carat (82 g) uncut diamond acquired from an Indian merchant named Jamchund in Madras in 1701.
		Pitt bought the diamond for 48,000 pagodas or £20,400, and then sent it back to England in 1702 with his eldest son.

	Thomas Pitt - LoveToKnow 1911
		THOMAS PITT (1653-1726), British East India merchant and politician, usually called "Diamond Pitt," was born at Blandford, Dorset, on the 5th of July 1653.
		Pitt was now very zealous in defending the interests of his employers against the new East India Company, and in protecting their settlements from the attacks of the natives; in directing the commercial undertakings of the company he also appears to have been very successful.
		During his residence in India Pitt bought for about £20,000 the fine diamond which was named after him; in 1717 he sold this to the regent of France, Philip duke of Orleans, for -180,000 or, according to another account, for £135,000.

	Historical Biographies, Nova Scotia: William Pitt (1708-78).
		Pitt was the grandson of Thomas Pitt, one of the first Englishmen to return from India with a fortune in his pocket, a nabob, one, who while not springing from a family of any political importance, died, in 1726, as one of the richest men in England.
		Pitt's last term in office was to last two years and three months, during only eight months of which he was (and even then with considerable interruptions) to guide the affairs of the state.
		Pitt did not like either extreme: he thought it was not necessary to give up; he thought that the matter might be brought to a conclusion through negotiation leaving England very loosely in charge but at the same time granting large concessions in respect to trade and self government.

		Thomas Pitt, the East India merchant and Governor at Madras, often called 'Diamond Pitt,' was born at Blandford Forum in Dorset on 5th July 1653.
		Pitt received offers of help from the company and, early in 1695, returned to England, where he was temporarily engaged as an agent for the company in the recovery of certain ships from Brest; and, on 28th October 1695, he was elected M.P. for Old Sarum.
		Pitt met the danger with a characteristic combination of shrewdness and boldness and, on 3rd May, the Nawab retired with a small subsidy, agreeing to restore all that he had taken from the company or its servants.
