General Notes: Husband - Richard Whitworth

---

He was a native of England, a knight who owned a large tract of land and who immigrated to America, settling at Baltimore, Maryland, where he resided until his death. In that city he built several cotton mills and engaged in the manufacture of cotton goods, but an enemy followed him from England and burned three of his mills in one night. [BHCWC, 560]

He was born in England, where he became engaged in business as a manufacturer of cotton goods, continuing thus for a number of years. He was a friend of the father of John Bright, also a cotton manufacturer. After he had been in business for some years in England, he came to the United States, in 1812, settling in Baltimore, where he erected and operated two large mills, and also owned twenty-two brick houses there. Some trouble arising with his employees, strikers burned all his property to the ground the eve before Christmas, 1837. [HAC 1914, 427]
