Biography
John Pidd was born in Lincolnshire, England.
John was a Friend (Quaker)
John was baptised 29 June 1616[1] in Beckingham, Lincolnshire. He is the son of Anthony Pidd.
On 8 December 1642[2] John married Anne Allen in Cotham, Nottingham shire. Cotham is 5 miles SW of Beckingham, across the River Witham.
Their son, William, was baptised 16 April 1647[3] in Beckingham, Lincolnshire.
His wife must have dies sometime before 1655.
John was a member of the Beckingham Quakers.
In the summer of 1654, George Fox, freshly released from Carlisle gaol, makes a tour through Yorkshire and Lincolnshire[4] on his way back to his home in Leicestershire. Perhaps one of his famous open air meetings was in Beckingham, for several inhabitants of the village join the Quaker sect. From the beginning John is clearly one of the leaders of the community.
In 1655 John refused to pay tithes and was imprisoned for ten weeks[5], presumably in Lincoln gaol.
On 19 March 1657[6] John marries Anne Handley in Beckingham. This is the first marriage recorded in the book, a sign of his prominence within the Beckingham group. The witnesses are Robert Parker, Richard Pidd, James Wadeson and Arnold Trueblood.
In 1658 John again refused to pay tithes and was imprisoned for six months[7], presumably once more in Lincoln gaol. His companion, Arnold Trueblood, dies while in gaol with him.
Perhaps as a reaction to this John moves across the River Witham to Barnby in the Willows, only one mile away, but in Nottinghamshire.
On 15 February 1663[8], he was a witness at the wedding of Thomas Hooton and Mary Sharpe in Barnby in the Willows. The wedding took place in John's house.
He was a witness at the wedding of William Cliffe and Katheran Pidd in Beckingham on 10 May 1663[9].
He witnessed the marriage of Thomas Auckland and Elizabeth Parker at the house of Mary Wadeson in Beckingham on 5 July 1663[10].
He witnessed the marriage of Richard Burdett and Anne Crosby on 1 May 1664[11] , both of Beckingham in the his own house in Barnby in the Willows, Nottinghamshire.
He witnessed the marriage of Henry Bacon and Alice Wadeson on 1 June 1664[12] in the house of Richard Pidd in Beckingham, Lincolnshire.
