I died about 2 1/4 centuries ago.
I was not in the military.
One of my sons had the same name and was in the same profession.

Sorry, definitely not an explorer. Probably didn't venture very far from my birthplace.

In the way that, say, Rembrandt was? No. But both those talents were very important in my work.

Boxjaw: perhaps, but it would have little bearing on who I am.
jolana: no, sorry
Richard Arkwright is a very good guess and was a contemporary of mine, I suppose. I didn't have any legal "patents" on any of my creations though. Regardless, they sold rather well.

Not Southeby. I was born a couple of decades before him and I did not own an auction house. Lords and nobles of the day were some of my clients.

That's quite a good guess, but I was born 12 years before Josiah and pottery wasn't my "cup of tea" : )
