John Macarthur (wool pioneer) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Macarthur (wool pioneer)
John Macarthur (1767 – 10 April 1834) was a British army officer, entrepreneur, politician, architect and pioneer of settlement in Australia. Macarthur is recognised as the pioneer of the wool industry that was to boom in Australia in the early 19th century and become a trademark of the nation. He is noted as the architect of Elizabeth Farm House, his own residence in Parramatta, and as the man who commissioned architect John Verge to design Camden Park Estate in Camden, in New South Wales. ==Early life== Macarthur was born near Plymouth, England the second son of Alexander Macarthur, who had fled to the West Indies after the Jacobite rising of 1745 before returning and working as a linen draper and 'seller of slops', according to some accounts.〔M. H. Ellis (1955), p. 5〕 His exact date of birth is unknown, but it is known that his birth was registered on 3 September 1767.〔M. H. Ellis (1955), p. 6〕 He spelled his surname "M'Arthur" for most of his life. He occasionally varied it to "MacArthur". The spelling "Macarthur" (with a lower case "a") became established only very late in his life.〔http://books.google.com.au/books?id=0xYF0v8doEgC&pg=PA1&lpg=PA1&dq=john+macarthur+spelling+m'arthur&source=web&ots=SfJh88vtxJ&sig=r1Shn5WMk2b-c1nmuBXHRDIuiso&hl=en&sa=X&oi=book_result&resnum=3&ct=result〕
