John Candler (abolitionist)
Leutha:
'''John Candler''' (10 April 1787, [[Great Bardfield]] – 4 July, 1869) was an English [[abolitionist]] active in [[Chelmsford]], [[Essex]].
John was the son of Elizabeth and William Candler. His father was a schoolmaster, and around 1799 he resigned his school and moved to [[Ipswich]]. Here John was apprenticed to a [[Quaker]] [[draper]]. Although his formal education drew to a close, John learnt [[Hebrew]] and [[Greek]] to better understand the Christian scriptures. This reflected the deeply religious viewpoint which his parents had passed unto him.<ref name="Boromé, Visit to America">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (given 1, expected 2)</ref>
When John had gained enough experience, he moved to Chelmsford where he set up in business as a draper with a partner from that town. The business was successful, and he soon married Maria Knight of Chelmsford.<ref name="Boromé, Visit to America"/> Maria was engaged in charitable works, and when John had accumulated enough money to provide a comfortable income, the couple dedicated their lives to various reform movements such as [[temperance]] and the abolition of [[slavery]].<ref name="Boromé, Visit to America"/>
