George Whitehead (Quaker leader)
George Whitehead (1636–1723) was a leading early Quaker preacher, author and lobbyist remembered for his advocacy of religious freedom before three kings of England. His lobbying in defense of the right to practice the Quaker religion was influential on the Act of Uniformity, the Bill of Rights of 1689 and the Royal Declaration of Indulgence. His writings are both biographical and ideological in nature, examining the Quaker way of life.
==Early life==
Whitehead was born at Sunbiggin, near Orton, Westmorland.〔http://www.british-history.ac.uk/report.aspx?compid=43513〕 He became convinced of Quaker principles by the time he reached the age of 14〔Ellwood, Thomas (1906). "The History of the Life of Thomas Ellwood". London. Headly Brothers〕 and in 1652, he left home at the age of 16 believing that Christ had commanded him to preach.〔Barbour, Hugh. Roberts, Arthur (ed).(1973). "Early Quaker Writings" Wallingford. Pendle Hill Publications.〕 After a year of preaching in southern England, Whitehead became known as one of the Valiant Sixty who traveled as Quaker preachers during a time of religious persecution. Whitehead, James Parnell and Edward Burrough were the only teenagers counted among the sixty.〔(Hall V. Worthington: The Christian Progress of George Whitehead )〕
