Edward Bancroft

Edward Bancroft was born on January 9, 1744 in Westfield Massachusetts. When Bancroft was only two years old his father past away from an Epileptic Seizure leaving only his mother to care for the family. When her mother remarried in May of 1781, Edward Bancroft’s stepfather held a meeting between George Washington and General Jean Batiste de Vimeur of France.

The Kingdom of Matthias by Paul E. Johnson and Sean Wilentz is a story of the rise and fall of a religious cult established by Robert Matthews (Matthias).

James was indifferent to religious prejudice and aimed to please both Catholics and protestants; introducing the Jacobean compromise. Before 1611 when Abbot succeeded Bancroft (previous archbishop), there were many glitches concerning the puritans including the Millenary Petition, Hampton Court Conference and Bancroft’s Cannons which caused mild uproar among puritans, however was short-lived.
