John Julius Angerstein - Family

Family

In 1771 Angerstein married Anna Crockett (widow of Charles Crockett and daughter of Henry Muilman (1700–1772) a South Sea Company director, banker, Danish consul in London and Russia Company consul, and Anne née Darnall) at St Peter-le-Poer, Old Broad Street. They had two children - Juliana, who married General Sablenkoff of the Russia Service, and John Angerstein (MP) (1773–1858). (A memorial to the latter in the church of St Nicholas at Bratton St Maur, near Wincanton, Somerset, describes him as the proprietor of nearby Holbrook House and says he worshipped in the church of St Nicholas, but also records his having died in Norfolk, rather than Somerset.)

Anna died in 1783, and in 1785 John Julius Angerstein married Eliza Lucas (daughter of the Rev. Joseph Payne and widow of Thomas Lucas, a director of the South Sea Company, president of Guy's Hospital and West Indies merchant). A portrait of Angerstein and his second wife, Eliza, by Thomas Lawrence was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1792 (now held by The Louvre museum, Paris).

Famous quotes containing the word family:

    Nor does the family even move about together,
    But every son would have his motor cycle,
    And daughters ride away on casual pillions.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    I had rather be shut up in a very modest cottage, with my books, my family and a few old friends, dining on simple bacon, and letting the world roll on as it liked, than to occupy the most splendid post which any human power can give.
    Thomas Jefferson (1743–1826)
