John Bishop Estlin, 1786-1855

Dates:
Birth 1786
Death 1855

Biographical notes:

Estlin was a prominent Unitarian in Bristol and keenly interested in social reform. His interest in slavery began in 1843 with the visit of Samuel May, and thereafter he became the leader of the garrison party in England, his daughter Mary continuing his active interest and visiting America in 1867. Both Dr Estlin and his daughter kept up a number of correspondences with American figures, including Samuel May, Samuel Joseph May, and William Lloyd Garrison.
