Nicholas Upsall

(Abt 1596 - 20 Aug 1666)

Although Nicholas was a Puritan, he fell out with them after coming to Massachusetts. He became interested in the Quakers, and for that he suffered terribly. He was fined and imprisoned, and then banished to Sandwich. He then traveled to Rhode Island where he stayed for three years. He returned to Boston but was imprisoned for two years. He was then put under a form of house arrest at the home of John Capen provided the said Upshall do not corrupt any with his pernicious opinions, or admit Quakers or other heretical persons to have communion with him or recourse to him.
