Ralph Izard (January 23, 1741/1742Template:Spaced ndashMay 30, 1804) was an American politician who served as president pro tempore of the United States Senate in 1794.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
Early lifeEdit
Izard was born at "The Elms" near Charleston, South Carolina. He was the son of Henry Izard and Margaret Johnson. His great-grandfather was Ralph Izard<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> (1660–1710), who was born in Dorchester, England and settled in South Carolina. His maternal grandfather was Province of South Carolina Governor Robert Johnson. Izard's parents died when he was a small child, and only one of his siblings survived to adulthood.
He spent most of his childhood and youth studying in England: he attended a school in Hackney, London, and matriculated as a fellow-commoner at Trinity Hall, Cambridge.<ref>Template:Acad</ref> Izard returned to America in 1764, but did not remain in South Carolina for long.<ref name="bioguideretro"/> He was elected the American Society (later the American Philosophical Society) in 1768.<ref>{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref>
CareerEdit
He resided in London in 1771 and moved to Paris, France, in 1776. He was appointed commissioner to the Court of Tuscany by the Continental Congress in 1776, but was recalled in 1779. He returned to America in 1780 and pledged his large estate in South Carolina for the payment of war ships to be used in the American Revolutionary War. He was a member of the Continental Congress in 1782 and 1783. In 1788, he was elected to the United States Senate and served from March 4, 1789, to March 4, 1795, serving as President pro tempore of the Senate during the Third Congress.<ref name="bioguideretro"/>
Later lifeEdit
