Sir Curtis Lampson, 1st Baronet : ウィキペディア英語版
Curtis Lampson
Sir Curtis Miranda Lampson, 1st Baronet (21 September 1806 – 12 March 1885), was an Anglo-American fur merchant, best remembered for his promotion of the transatlantic telegraph cable.
==Life==
Born New Haven, Vermont, to American Revolutionary Soldier, William Lampson (1761–1827) and Rachel Powell (1766–1813), he started work as a clerk before moving to New York and then, in 1830, to London as John Jacob Astor's agent. He established the business of C.M. Lampson & Co. and became a naturalised British citizen on 14 May 1849.
He was elected to the board of directors of the Atlantic Telegraph Company on its formation in 1856 and served it over the next decade. His endeavours, along with those of the other principals, were recognised on 16 November 1866 when Lampson was created a baronet. He is said to have been the first former US citizen to have been so honoured. His other appointments included as deputy governor of the Hudson's Bay Company and as one of the trustees of the Peabody Donation Fund.
Lampson died at his country seat, Rowfant, in West Sussex and was buried at Worth Church near Crawley.
