 Samuel Annesley was born in Warwick around 1620. He received both his
B. A. and his M. A. from Queen's College, Oxford. His father died when
he was four, and his godly mother raised him and supported him. He was a
chaplain at sea for a time, and then pastored in Kent beyond that. He
served for a time at St. Gile's Cripplegate, but was one of the 2000
non-conformists ejected in 1662. Annesley was a presbyterian
non-conformist, whose only remaining sermons are found in the Puritan Sermons set
published by Richard Owen Roberts Publishers of Carol Stream, Il (a
bargain no matter what price is paid to obtain them!).
Samuel Annesley's daughter Ann married Samuel Wesley, and gave birth to
two sons, John and Charles. He was instrumental, along with Thomas
Case, in what came to be known as "The Morning Exercises," the sermons that
became the Puritan Sermons set mentioned above. |
