He married Mrs Martha Evans who had entered into the business established by Mr Fribourg in 1720, at the sign of the Rasp and Crown. The business became Fribourg & Treyer, and they sold cigars and snuff and cigarettes from at least as early as 1852, from their premises at 34 Haymarket, London.[1]
Customers included David Garrick, King George IV, and Beau Brummell.[1]
He is buried at Kensal Green Cemetery.[2]
