Dodshon Foster
Dodshon Foster (1 September 1730〔Digest of Durham Quaker births: index; Joseph Foster (1871) A Pedigree of the Forsters and Fosters of the North of England〕 - 2 January 1793〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Family of Dodshon Foster )〕) was a merchant who profited from the slave trade. He was involved in the shipping of over 700 slaves during his career.〔White, p.63〕 His commercial success was assisted by his connection through marriage to the Birket family of merchants; he married Elizabeth, the daughter of Myles Birket.〔White, p.63.〕
Foster was the son of a Quaker merchant from Durham. Foster moved to Lancaster and entered into the slave trade in 1752 at the age of 21. His ship was named the ''Barlborough'', and it made several slaving voyages between 1752 and 1758. He served as one of Lancaster's Port Commissioners between 1755 and 1758.〔
==Legacy==
Foster had a house and warehouse on St George's Quay next to Lancaster Custom House. In 2005 an anti-slavery memorial commissioned by Lancaster's Slave Trade Art Memorial Project (STAMP) and designed by Kevin Dalton-Johnson was placed on the quayside.
The Custom House is now a museum and has a portrait of Foster.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Mr Dodshon Foster of Lancaster )〕
