Thomas Butler Gunn
Thomas Butler Gunn (1826-1904) was an English born illustrator and writer who spent fourteen years in America. His diaries of this period provide details of his life amongst the bohemian writers and artist in New York and his work as a newspaper correspondent during the American Civil War.
==Early life==
The Gunn family had been farming for several generations in the Banbury, Oxfordshire area of England. Gunn’s father, Samuel, (1785-1863) grew up on a farm but left to start a grocery business. In 1809 he married Sarah Arnold and they had two daughters before Sarah died in 1815.〔Only one of these daughters survived to adulthood, she was Mary Anne who married Joseph Greatbatch, the grandson of the renowned potter, William Greatbatch (1735-1813). The family later changed their surname to Bristol, the maiden name of Joseph’s mother.〕 In 1822 the widowed Samuel married Naomi Butler. Their son, Thomas Butler Gunn, born on February 15, 1826, was the second of their six children.
The family moved to John Street in the St Pancras area of London in the 1830s.〔1841 UK census〕 Gunn later recalled attending the sermons of controversial preacher, James Harington Evans, at the local John Street Baptist Chapel. The family next moved south of the river Thames to 10 Rodney Buildings, New Kent Road.〔1851 UK census〕
During these early years, Gunn was articled to the architectural practise of Samuel Beazley in Soho Square and contributed illustrations to various publications.
