Lancaster Walks - executions, slavery, industry

Mr Dodshon Foster (1 September 1730 - 2 January 1793) was a merchant who profited from the slave trade. He was involved in the shipping of over 700 slaves during his career. His commercial success was assisted by his connection through marriage to the Birket family of merchants; he married Elizabeth, the daughter of Myles Birket.

Foster was the son of a Quaker merchant from Durham. Foster moved to Lancaster and entered into the slave trade in 1752 at the age of 21. His ship was named the Barlborough, and it made several slaving voyages between 1752 and 1758. He served as one of the Lancaster Port Commissioners between 1755 and 1758
