Description  Was an indigo planter in Bengal. Was noted as a good hand in improving colour. Went to Seeraha, “where he did well both as to amount of indigo made and in improving colour.” When Oman’s engagement expired, Joseph Hill relieved him, paying him up his pay and commission. Oman used this cash in hand to buy into Hotipore [Motipore?], “where he did well, sold out of this, and eventually purchased Hatowrie.” Fell into bad health; sold out of indigo. Retired to Cheltenham, dying there.
