  • Notes 
    • Early Life
      Arthur Lupton was born on the 20th of January 1748 and baptised on the 15th of February at St Peter's, Leeds. His parents were William Lupton of Whitkirk in Leeds and Mary Hickson/Higson.

      Career and Family Life
      Wikipedia has:
      Arthur ... was sent to Leopold Pfeil's school in Frankfurt when he was 15, to study High Dutch and French. In 1764, Wolfgang von Goethe, his contemporary at the school, wrote about his schoolmate.

      Arthur Lupton returned to England in 1766 before leaving for Lisbon. In 1768, he took on two partners and was joined by John Luccock, with whom he set up a subsidiary company, Lupton & Luccock, in Rio de Janeiro. William Lupton and Company was established in 1773, but traded in cloth before this date.[28] Lupton sat on the committee for the Leeds cloth halls, regulating their activities. In 1774 the leading merchants organised the construction of the 3rd White Cloth Hall. A trade directory of 1790 lists Lupton & Company as Merchants in the Leylands.

      Arthur married Olive Rider, daughter of David Rider and Olive Airy, on the 17th of November 1773 at St Peter's, Leeds. Their marrage announcement in the Leeds Intelligencer1 reads:
      On Wednesday last was married, Mr. Arthur Lupton, merchant in this town, to Miss Rider, only daughter of Mr. David Rider, clothier; a young lady of great merit, with a fortune of 5000L.


      Death
      Arthur's death was reported in the York Herald, 18 July 1807:
      Lately, at an advanced age, Mr Arthur Lupton, of Leeds, merchant.
