Richard Hubberthorne
Richard Hubberthorne (1628 (baptized) – 17 August 1662〔Catie Gill, (‘Hubberthorne, Richard (bap. 1628, d. 1662)’ ), ''Oxford Dictionary of National Biography'', Oxford University Press, 2004, accessed 27 Dec 2008〕) was an early Quaker preacher and writer active in the 1650s and early 1660s until his death in Newgate prison.
Hubberthorne is generally overshadowed by more famous early Quakers like George Fox, James Nayler, and Edward Burrough. William Braithwaite ''Beginnings of Quakerism'' includes him among the "heroic pioneers of the new movement",〔''The Beginnings of Quakerism'' (1912) by William Braithwaite, p. 86 (hereafter, "BQ").〕 but puts him last, and later describes his writing as having "no distinction either of style or matter.".〔''BQ'' p. 303. The comments are also directed at George Whitehead's writings.〕
== Pre-Quaker life ==
Hubberthorne was born in Lancashire, the only son of a yeoman and his wife. His childhood is reminiscent of Fox's – Edward Burrough describes him as being "inclinable from his youth upwards to Religion and to the best way, always minding the best things," though unlike the headstrong young George, his disposition was "meek and lowly," and he "loved peace among men". However, around age 20 he joined the army and fought in the English Civil War, which Burrough reports without obvious disapproval.〔Preface to the 1663 ''Collection'' of his works (see "Works" section above), pp. vi-vii.〕
After the war ended, he apparently was in the company of the large group of disaffected radical puritans known as "Seekers" in the Westmorland area.〔''BQ'' p. 92.〕 The Seekers were already close to a number of "Quaker" positions and practices: their official minister refused to accept payment from the compulsory tithes, for example, and after he left the group held some of their meetings in silence.〔''BQ'' p. 80 on tithes and 82 on silence.〕
