Nehemiah Wallington
Edit ProfileCareer
From Eastcheap. He left over 2,500 pages and 50 volumes on himself, religion and politics. A little before 1620 Nehemiah entered into business on his own account as a turner, and took a house in Little Eastcheap, between Pudding Lane and Fish-street Hill. There he passed the remainder of an uneventful life.
He acknowledged that he had possessed William Prynne"s Divine Tragedie, Matthew White"s Newes from Ipswich, and Henry Burton"s Apology of an Appeale, but pleaded that he no longer owned them.
He was kept under surveillance by the court for about two years, but suffered no further penalty. Wallington died in the summer or autumn of 1658.
Zachariah was killed in Ireland on a plantation in 1641. Livewell was minister at Burton, near Lincoln, and afterwards at Broxholme.
By her Wallington had several children, of whom only a daughter, Sara, survived him.
