Thomas Davenport (9 July 1802 – 6 July 1851) was a Vermont blacksmith who constructed the first American DC electric motor in 1834. Benjamin Cronyn (11 July 1802 – 21 September 1871) was the first bishop of the Anglican Diocese of Huron. Charles Sprengel Greaves MA QC (1802–1881), eldest son of William Greaves MD (1771–1848) of Mayfield, Staffordshire, by his first wife, Anne-Lydia, was born at Burton on 18 July 1802.  He entered Rugby School on 18 July 1816 and matriculated at Queen's College, Oxford on 27 February 1819, graduating BA on 25 November 1823 (in the lower portion of the second class in classics) and MA on 13 April 1825.  Greaves was called to the bar by the Society of Lincoln's Inn on 22 November 1827, entered the Inner Temple ad eundem in 1828, and attended the Oxford Circuit and Gloucester Sessions.  He became Queen's counsel on 28 February 1850, but by then he had for many years ceased to practise.  He became a bencher of Lincoln's Inn on 15 April 1850.  He was a magistrate and deputy lieutenant for Staffordshire, and also a magistrate for the county of Derby.  He was the draftsman of the Criminal Procedure Act 1851 and the criminal law consolidation Acts 1861.  He became a Secretary to the Criminal Law Commission in 1878.  He died at 11 Blandford Square, London, on 3 June 1881. The Nepean Baronetcy, of Bothenhampton in the County of Dorset, was a title in the Baronetage of the United Kingdom.  It was created on 16 July 1802 for the politician and colonial administrator Evan Nepean.  He was Chief Secretary for Ireland from 1804 to 1885 and Governor of Bombay from 1812 to 1819.  The title became extinct on the death of the sixth Baronet in 2002.  Another member of the family to gain distinction was Herbert Evan Charles Bayley Nepean (1865–1951), son of Colonel Herbert Augustus Tierney Nepean, son of Reverend Evan Nepean, fourth son of the first Baronet.  He was a Brigadier in the Indian Army.  Lieutenant Colonel Evan Yorke Nepean, the 6th Baronet, was notable for having the amateur radio callsign AC4YN.  With Hugh E. Richardson on a political mission to Tibet in 1936, he took this call based on his own initials and the AC4 prefix, which at that time was assigned to this country.

Joseph, Baron Ducreux (26 June 1735 – 24 July 1802) was a French noble, portrait painter, pastelist, miniaturist, and engraver, who was a successful portraitist at the court of Louis XVI of France, and resumed his career after the French Revolution.  He was made a baron and "premier peintre de la reine" (First Painter to the Queen), and drew the last portrait ever made of Louis XVI before the king’s execution.  His less formal portraits reflect his fascination with physiognomy and show an interest in expanding the range of facial expressions beyond those of official portraiture. Liquitex is a company that supplies art materials, focusing exclusively on the development, manufacture, and distribution of acrylic paints.  In 1955, Permanent Pigments, a company founded by Henry Levison, created the first water-based acrylic paint, along with the first acrylic gesso.

In 1963, "Heavy Body" paints were available with a thicker consistency.  The company offers the largest number of acrylic paint products in the world. E.

James Rivington (1724 – July 1802) was an English-born American journalist who published a loyalist newspaper in the American colonies called "Rivington's Gazette".  Some scholars in the 1950s determined that despite all outward appearances, Rivington was a member of the American Culper Spy Ring. Acrylic fibers are synthetic fibers made from a polymer (polyacrylonitrile) with an average molecular weight of ~100,000, about 1900 monomer units.  For a fiber to be called "acrylic" in the US, the polymer must contain at least 85% acrylonitrile monomer.  Typical comonomers are vinyl acetate or methyl acrylate.  DuPont created the first acrylic fibers in 1941 and trademarked them under the name Orlon.  It was first developed in the mid-1940s but was not produced in large quantities until the 1950s.  Strong and warm, acrylic fiber is often used for sweaters and tracksuits and as linings for boots and gloves, as well as in furnishing fabrics and carpets.  It is manufactured as a filament, then cut into short staple lengths similar to wool hairs, and spun into yarn.
