Joshua Marshman : ウィキペディア英語版 | Joshua Marshman
Joshua Marshman (1768–1837) was a Christian missionary in Bengal, India. His mission involved social reform and intellectual debate with educated Hindus such as Raja Ram Mohan Roy. ==Family== Morgan Butler was part of his family. Joshua Marshman was born in 1768 in Britain at Westbury Leigh, Wiltshire, England, and died in India at Serampore, Bengal. Of his family little is known, except that they traced their descent from an officer in the Army of Cromwell, one of a band who, at the Restoration, relinquished, for conscience-sake, all views of worldly aggrandisement, and retired into the country to support himself by his own industry. His father John passed the early part of his life at sea and was engaged in the ''Hind'' Sloop of War, commanded by Captain Bond at the Capture of Quebec. Shortly after this he returned to England and in 1764 married Mary Couzener. She was a descendant of a French family who had sought refuge in England following the revocation of the Edict of Nantes; after his marriage he lived in Westbury Leigh and took up the trade of a weaver. This occupation did not pay well and he was unable to afford his son any education beyond that supplied in the village.
