Two of his sons, Benjamin Goldsmid and Abraham Goldsmid, began business together around 1777 as bill-brokers in London. They became great powers in the money market during the Napoleonic Wars through their dealings with the government. In 1810, Abraham Goldsmid was joint contractor with the Barings for a government loan, but owing to a depreciation of the scrip, he was forced into bankruptcy and committed suicide. His brother, in a fit of depression, had similarly taken his own life two years before. Both were noted for their public and private generosity, and both played major roles in funding and managing the Naval Asylum – later renamed the Royal Naval Asylum.

Edward Quin, journalist, born in Dublin, seems to have spent some years in France, where he taught pugilism. Ultimately he followed the career of a journalist in London. About 1803 he started The Traveller, a journal intended to represent the commercial travellers; it was one of the earliest of professional papers, but it "was much more than a class journal, being .... a bold advocate of political reforms. 'If it has not much wit or brilliancy', said a contemporary critic, 'it is distinguished by sound judgment, careful information, and constitutional principles”’. As editor of the paper, Quin accepted some of the earliest of Leigh Hunt's essays. In 1823 The Traveller was merged in the Globe under the general title of The Globe and Traveller. Quin also owned and edited The Day until its amalgamation with the New Times. He was elected a common councilman for the ward of Farringdon Without in 1805, and enjoyed in the common council a reputation for eloquence. He died of apoplexy at Sheerness on 7 July 1823. He published under his own name a Speech on Deputy Birch's Motion to petition Parliament against the Admission of Catholics into the Army, 8vo, London, 1807; and Irish Charitable Society: a Letter advocating the Establishment of a Charity under the above Designation, with other Documents, 8vo, London, 1812.
