Arthur Guinness
Arthur Guinness (September 24 1725 – January 23, 1803) was the Irish founder of Guinness Breweries.
He was born in Celbridge, County Kildare, the son of a land steward. His father worked for the Archbishop of Cashel, Dr. Aruthur Price, and brewed beer for the other workers on the estate. In his will, Dr. Price left £100 each to the Guinnesses, father and son. With the money, Arthur leased a brewery in Leixlip in 1756. Three years later he left his younger brother in charge of that enterprise and moved on to another in St. James' Gate, Dublin. Within eight years, he was the master of the Dublin Corporation of Brewers.
He married Olivia Whitmore in 1761, and they had 21 children, 10 of which lived to adulthood.
