an English minister of the Society of Friends, was born at Laleham, Middlesex, June 1, 1639. He was among the first who, in his native county, embraced the doctrines and followed the practices of the Friends. He became a member of the monthly meeting of Kingston-upon-Thames, where the meeting-house was built, and continued a member thereof forty- eight years. After he became a minister he "was very zealous, not fearing the trials and persecutions that came upon him." He was in prison at the time of the great fire in London in 1666, and was obliged to carry his bed out on his back when the prison was burned. He remained steadfast in the truth to the last, and died at the house of his son-in-law, in Blackman street, Southwark, May 6,1723. See Piety Prormoted, 2:362. (J.C.S.)
