Richard Rathbone (2 December 1788 - 10 November 1860) was a member of the noted Rathbone family of Liverpool in England. He was the second son of William Rathbone IV. Richard was a commission merchant, setting up in partnership with his brother, William Rathbone V in 1809. He retired in 1835. As a committed opponent of the slave trade, he published in 1836 ''Letter to the President of the Liverpool Anti-Slavery Society''. Rathbone attended the 1840 anti-slavery convention in London and he was included in the painting which is now in the National Portrait Gallery in London.〔(The Anti-Slavery Society Convention ), 1840, Benjamin Robert Haydon, accessed April 2009〕 On 8 April 1817 Rathbone married his half-cousin Hannah Mary (5 July 1798-26 March 1878), daughter of Joseph Reynolds of Ketley, Shropshire, and granddaughter of Richard Reynolds. They had six children: * Hannah Mary (1818-1853) * Richard Reynolds (1820-1898) * Margaret (b. 1821 later Dixon) * William Benson (1826-1892) * Basil (1824-1853) * Emily (1838-1907, later Greg) ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Rathbone」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
