* 1730 – Josiah Wedgwood, English potter, founded the Wedgwood Company ( d. 1795 )

Josiah Wedgwood ( 12 July 1730 – 3 January 1795 ) was an English potter, founder of the Wedgwood company, credited with the industrialisation of the manufacture of pottery.

He was a member of the Darwin – Wedgwood family.

Born in Burslem, Staffordshire, England, the twelfth and last child of Thomas Wedgwood and Margret Wedgwood ( née Stringer ; d. 1766 ), Josiah was raised within a family of English Dissenters.

He survived a childhood bout of smallpox to serve as an apprentice potter under his eldest brother Thomas Wedgwood IV.

In his early twenties, Wedgwood began working with the most renowned English pottery-maker of his day, Thomas Whieldon, who eventually became his business partner in 1754.

Inspired, Wedgwood leased the Ivy Works in the town of Burslem.

Wedgwood married Sarah Wedgwood ( 1734 – 1815 ), his third cousin, in January 1764.

Wedgwood was keenly interested in the scientific advances of his day and it was this interest that underpinned his adoption of its approach and methods to revolutionize the quality of his pottery.

Wedgwood convinced her to let him name the line of pottery she had purchased " Queen's Ware ", and trumpeted the royal association in his paperwork and stationery.

In 1773, Empress Catherine of Russia ordered the Green Frog Service from Wedgwood ; it can still be seen in the Hermitage Museum.

As a leading industrialist, Wedgwood was a major backer of the Trent and Mersey Canal dug between the River Trent and River Mersey, during which time he became friends with Erasmus Darwin.

In 1780, his long-time business partner Thomas Bentley died, and Wedgwood turned to Darwin for help in running the business.

As a result of the close association that grew up between the Wedgwood and Darwin families, Josiah's eldest daughter would later marry Erasmus ' son.

One of the children of that marriage, Charles Darwin, would also marry a Wedgwood — Emma, Josiah's granddaughter.

After passing on his company to his sons, Wedgwood died at home, probably of cancer of the jaw, in 1795.

Referring to Charles I of England, historian Veronica Wedgwood wrote this sentence in her 1955 book The King's Peace, 1637 – 1641: " The King in his natural optimism still believed that a silent majority in Scotland were in his favour.
