Henry Ashurst (merchant) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Henry Ashurst (merchant) Henry Ashurst (c. 1614 – 1680), was a wealthy and benevolent merchant of London, noted for his gifts of money to pious or charitable purposes. ==Life== His father Henry was a justice of the peace in Lancashire. His mother was one of the Bradshaws of Bradshaw, near Bolton. Of the sons of this marriage William engaged in politics, becoming M.P. for Newton, Lancashire, in 1641, and for the county in 1654; John became a colonel in the civil war; and Henry, born about 1614, entered into trade; all being parliamentarians and Presbyterians. A daughter, Mary, became the wife of Dr. Theophilus Howorth, of Manchester. Henry Ashurst the son was apprenticed at the age of fifteen to a London draper; his prospects were advanced by a loan from the Rev. James Hiet, of Croston, Lancashire, and by his marriage with Judith Reresby. He became a successful merchant, entered the common council, and, though ejected in 1662, subsequently became an alderman. In 1667 he was living at Lauderdale House, but at the time of his death, which occurred in November 1680, he is called of Hackney. He had the intimate acquaintance of Henry Newcome, of Manchester, Richard Baxter, who preached his funeral sermon, Matthew and Philip Henry, and others; and the writings of all these divines abound in references to him.
