John Crook (1617-1699) was a wealthy English Quaker and writer well known for hosting George Fox before a large crowd at his estate, Beckerings Park in Bedfordshire, in May 1658. Like George Fox, Crook was an advocate of silent prayer. On Aug. 7, 1675, John Crook of Newton in the County of Bedford, England, authorized John Bowne (1627-1695) and John Tilton, planters, and William Richardson, Master of the Ship Mayflower of Kent, to recover money owed to him by Nathaniel Sylvester of Shelter Island in New York. |
