John Owens (merchant)

John Owens (1790–29 July 1846) was an English merchant and philanthropist, whose bequest helped found part of the University of Manchester.
==Life and career==
Owens was born in Manchester, England in 1790, the son of Owen Owens, a prosperous merchant who had come to Manchester from Flintshire, Wales.
He was educated at a private school and began work for his father's firm about the age of 14. By 1819 he had become a partner in his father's business and was soon noted for his ability as a cotton buyer. His business prospered, and the firm traded with China, India, South America and the United States, dealing in many other commodities. For a time he was in partnership with Samuel Faulkner whose son George (1790–1860) was his closest friend. The business was carried on at Carpenter's Lane in Manchester while Owens resided at Nelson Street, Chorlton on Medlock. It is recorded that he was a man of very retiring habits who kept no company whatever. He spent evenings quietly among his books. He was a Liberal in politics and a Congregationalist by religion though in his later life he stopped worshipping in chapel and attended an Anglican church.
