Biography

Sampson was a Friend (Quaker)

Birth and Parents

Sampson was the son of Sampson Lloyd and Mary Crowley. He was born on 15 July (Quaker 5th month) 1699.[1][2]

Sampson married twice. In 1727 he married Sarah Parkes.[3] They had one son:

  • Sampson, born 2 October (Quaker 8th month) 1728.[4]

Sarah died in 1729.[3]

Sampson married again, at Bristol, on 11 October (Quaker 8th month) 1731, his second wife being Rachel Champion, daughter of Nehemiah Champion of Bristol, merchant.[5][6] They had the following children:

  • Nehemiah, born at Birmingham, Warwickshire on 7 October (Quaker 8th month) 1732,[7] died there on 20 September (Quaker 7th month) 1733[8]

  • Susannah, born in Birmingham on 25 August (Quaker 6th month) 1735, died there on 6 December (Quaker 10th month) 1735[10]
  • Mary, born in Birmingham on 10 February Quaker 12th month) 1736/7 (1737 in modern reckoning),[11] who married Osgood Hanbury in 1757[3]
  • Champion (son), born in Birmingham on 5 March (Quaker 1st month) 1738, died there 20 January (Quaker 11th month) 1739/40 (1740 in modern reckoning)[12]

Rachel died on 16 September 1756 and was buried in the old Quaker burial ground at Birmingham.[19]

Occupations

Sampson was apprenticed in 1717 to Thomas Sharp, who made brass wires in Bristol, but for health reasons returned home three years later.[3] Back in Birmingham, Warwickshire he expanded his father's iron business into something more substantial, including blast furnaces.[3]

In 1765 he diversified into banking, funding a Birmingham bank with a Unitarian called John Taylor, with the other partners being John Taylor's son John and his own son Sampson,[3] who was the active partner.[20] Much of the business was linked with local iron businesses and other local traders. In its first six years, the bank made profits of some £10,000.[20] From this bank evolved Lloyds Bank.[3]

Death and Burial

Sampson died on 30 November 1779 at Birmingham, Warwickshire and was buried in the Quaker burial ground there on 6 December 1779.[21][22]

Research Notes

Note: Founding father of Lloyds Bank - In 1765, at the age of 66, he formed a company with the button maker John Taylor (1711–1775) and his own son, Sampson (3rd), creating Birmingham's first bank: Taylor's and Lloyds, located at 7 Dale End. This is the bank which became Lloyds Bank, and then Lloyds TSB.
