an English minister of the Society of Friends, was born at Holderness, Yorkshire, and is referred to as having been "well educated." In 1657 he went to America with Christopher Holder and other Friends, his "companions in tribulation." Returning to his native land, he passed through the vicissitudes which fell to the lot of the Quakers of his age. In 1687 he came again to America. After enduring much persecution, he died, January 9, 1718, at a good old age. See Bowden, Hist. of Friends in America, 1:137. (J.C.S.)
