Cruger, Henry, Jr. 1739-1780
Merchant; born in New York City, in 1739.
His father became a merchant in Bristol, England, where he died in 1780.
Henry was associated with him in trade, and succeeded him as mayor of Bristol in 1781.
He had been elected to Parliament as the colleague of Edmund Burke in 1774, and was re-elected in 1784, and on all occasions advocated conciliatory measures towards his countrymen.
After the war he became a merchant in New York, and, while yet a member of the British Parliament, was elected to the Senate of the State of New York.
He died in New York, April 24, 1827.
