Thomas Skaggs, Foothills of Mount Level

This might be a softball but here goes....

In 1754, he moved to spacious premises in the fashionable paved thoroughfare of St. Martin�s Lane which his firm occupied for the next 60 years. He then formed a partnership with a Scottish merchant, who injected capital into the business. They employed between 40 and 50 artisans. And while he possessed a sound practical knowledge of timbers and craftsmanship, he most likely, at this stage in his career, would have been responsible for design and management, instead of working at the bench.

Who is this describing?

Well done sir!
