Thomas Graham (c. 1666 - 14 May 1733) was apothecary to King George I and George II, and was apothecary general to the British army.
Graham served his apprenticeship in Scotland, from which country he hailed, and was admitted as a "foreign brother" of the Society of Apothecaries on 14 September 1698.[1]
Thomas died at his home in Pall Mall in London and was buried at St Mary's, Harrow on the Hill, where a wall plaque commemorates him and his wife Anne.
His son was Daniel Graham (c. 1695 - 1788) who was apothecary to King George II, King George III and Chelsea College Hospital. A granddaughter- Daniel's daughter, Henrietta- was the mother of Robert Malthus.[2]
