Amasya eşrâfından es-Seyyid el-Hâc Ahmed Efendi bin el-Hâc İsmâil Efendi bin Mehmed Efendi bin el-Hâc Ali Efendi mahdûmudur. Buna “Emîn Sıdkı Mehmed Efendi” dendi. İstanbul’a gidip mâliye aklâmından birine yerleşti. [331]
Orada tefeyyüz ederek 1244’de mukâtaât kîsedârı, 1246’da defterdâr mektubcusu, 1247 şevvâlinde küçük rûznamçeci oldu. 1249’da rûznâme-i evvel, 1252’de mukâtaât muhâsebecisi, 1254 muharreminde Eshâm muhâsebecisi olup 1257’de vefât etdi. Ricâl-i devletden idi.
He was the son of Seyyid Hacı Ahmed Efendi, one of the notables of Amasya; Ahmed Efendi was the son of Hacı İsmâil Efendi, İsmâil Efendi the son of Mehmed Efendi, and Mehmed Efendi the son of Hacı Ali Efendi. He was called "Emîn Sıdkı Mehmed Efendi". He went to Istanbul and settled in one of the finance offices.
Advancing there, he became in 1244 [1828-29] treasurer of the mukâtaât (kîsedâr), in 1246 [1830-31] secretary of the chief treasurer (defterdar), and in Şevval 1247 [1832] junior rûznâmçe clerk. In 1249 [1833-34] he became first rûznâmçe (rûznâme-i evvel), in 1252 [1836-37] accountant of the mukâtaât, and in Muharram 1254 [1838] accountant of the Eshâm, and he died in 1257 [1841-42]. He was one of the men of state.
The title of this entry is the same as that of "Emîn Mehmed Efendi, Fazlızâde es-Seyyid el-Hâc" in entry 363, but the men are different: the father in 363 is Seyyid Hâfız Mehmed Efendi, in this entry Seyyid Hacı Ahmed Efendi, and the man of 363 died in 1240 as secretary of the governor of Sivas and ayân of Amasya, while the man of this entry died in 1257 in the Istanbul finance bureaucracy. The appearance of the name Fazlızâde in both may point to the same family, but the text draws no such link; this is an inference. The words "es-Seyyid" and "el-Hâc" in the title mean that among the notables of Amasya he was of sayyid descent and had made the pilgrimage.
No information was found in the sources read on the posts and dates of Emîn Sıdkı Mehmed Efendi. Records of bureaucrats with similar names turned up but were not used, since no link with this man could be shown. The entry rests on Hüsameddin alone.
