Education
There is no information about his education.
Career
In early life Pusey moved to London, where he was a last-maker by trade. He was keenly interested in William Penn's Holy Experiment, was associated with Penn and eight other proprietors in a scheme for the "setting up" of mills in Pennsylvania and was selected as resident manager of the enterprise.
In 1682 he and his wife emigrated to Pennsylvania and settled on Chester Creek near Upland in Chester (now Delaware) County. The corn mill which he erected on this site in 1683 attained wide fame as the Chester Mills. It was not the oldest mill in the province, but it was the first erected under Penn's proprietorship and Penn himself laid the corner-stone. Seven of the partners soon disposed of their interests and for several years the mill belonged to Penn, Pusey, and Samuel Carpenter. Pusey continued to serve as manager until about 1717, when he and his family removed to Marlborough township in Chester County, where he spent the last years of his life.
Pusey was for many years a justice of the peace of Chester County. He was also sheriff in 1692-93 and county treasurer for a short time in 1704. He was offered an appointment as judge of the supreme court in 1701 but refused to accept it. He served in the provincial assembly for several terms between 1686 and 1713 and was a member of the governor's council in 1695, 1697, and from 1699 to 1715. His controversial writings were mainly directed against George Keith, Daniel Leeds, Francis Bugg, and other Quaker apostates.
He died in 1727.

He also made a large collection of historical manuscripts: Satan's Harbinger Encountered, George Keith once more brought to the Test and proved a Prevaricator and others.
