a minister of the Society of Friends, was born in Wales in 1646. After his marriage, he became a member of the Church of England. Having read a book by George Fox the younger, he united with the Friends. In 1683 he and his wife removed to Pennsylvania, where they remained many years and brought up a family. They returned to England in 1704.
