Much endeavor was vainly made to convince and reform the prisoners . . . and the court then ordered that . . . Nicholas Phelps . . . depart out of this jurisdiction before the first day of the next court of election, which if they should neglect or fail to do, they should then be banished under pain of death . . .
Nicholas Phelps took advantage of an opportunity to sail for England, four days later, with the intention of laying the whole matter before parliament. They returned together, but Mr. Phelps, being weak in body, after some time died. His mother, Mrs. Eleanor Trusler, had died in 1655 and her sons Henry and Nicholas Phelps inherited her farm in West Peabody, where at the house thereon the first meeting of the Friends had been held. Nicholas Phelps' half of the house and lands were taken for the payment of fines . . . |
