James MacAlistair was born in Glasgow in 1748 to middle class parents. He went into the textile business, amassed a large fortune importing cotton from India and was knighted for his efforts in 1788. He married social climbing widow Mrs. Sarah Manning in 1781 with whom he had three daughters: Augusta and twins Belinda and Selina. The family moved from Scotland in 1791 when Sir James retired from business. He bought a small estate near Bath to allow his daughters to grow up well provided for and able to enjoy the Bath seasons.
