John PARTRIDGE, 1795 (General)
This John Partridge was one of the Partridge dynasty of ironmasters. I've looked into the family a (very little) bit as this guy's steward was my gx4 grandfather Esaias Pewtner around the time when JP had a forge at Lydbrook and built a mansion at Bishopswood. The family went on to involvement in the emergent iron industry in S Wales and were related by marriage to the Crawshay and Bailey families, who between them produced the notorious Crawshay Bailey. As to forebears, there were several Johns and although it seems a bit of a stretch from ironmonger to ironmaster, I wouldn't be surprised if there was a link.
