Alsagoff family

[6] Ahmad married Raja Siti, daughter of Hajjah Fatimah, who was a local aristocrat, thus strengthening his family's presence in Singapore.

[2][7] The family, whose name became 'Alsagoff', would get involved in a number of philanthropic activities, such as financing the Masjid of Hajjah Fatimah on Beach Road in Kampong Glam.

He received two land concessions from Sultan Abu Bakar of Johor; one in Kukup, where he could print his own currency, and the other in Kampong Nong Chik.

[9] He owned a large estate where his nephew, Syed Omar Alsagoff, lived in a palatial bungalow and entertained Europeans lavishly, at what is now Kampong Bukit Tunggal, near Chancery Lane.

The tomb (or Keramat) of the holy man Habib Nuh bin Muhammad Al-Habshi built by Syed Mohamed in about 1890 is still maintained by the Alsagoff family.

After the captain and crew arrived in Aden, the Jeddah was brought in by a second ship which found it and hauled it back saving the passengers.
