Richard Davis, the Welshpool Quaker (see Wales), says in his autobiography: "A little after this I came to hear that some of the people that were called Quakers were at Shrewsbury, in the county of Salop, being distant from the place of my abode about eighteen miles. When the time called Christmas came, my master's work being somewhat over for a while, I got leave to go so far. I went first to the house of John Millington, where many friends resorted." In 1661 Davies was taken prisoner at Wem, with about twenty-five more, and committed to Shrewsbury Gaol, where they suffered much hardship; but after some days John Millington interceded with the gaoler, who was prevailed upon to let them all go, taking their word for their appearance at the next Assizes. 83.
