J. M. Beijerman

Tentatively identified as a notary in Rotterdam, and certainly the husband of the niece of Dr James Clark (q.v.). Clark Hall, of which Beijerman appears with George Clark as owner of one moiety, was owned by James Clark FRS, a doctor from Aberdeen, who on his death in 1819 left it to his brother George Clark, a merchant in Rotterdam, and to George Clark's children, including a daughter who had married Beijerman. James Laing is identified in the same source as a colleague and friend of James Clark.
