Puritans and Nonconformists - Volume II in the Eatons of Cheshire trilogy - investigates a group of Eatons in Great Budworth, Grappenhall and Daresbury who played a significant role in the religious and political upheavals affecting the north-west of England in the 1500s and 1600s. They include Richard, Puritan vicar of Great Budworth, whose son Theophilus left London to found New Haven Colony in Connecticut; Theophilus' brothers Samuel (father of Cheshire Congregationalism) and Nathaniel; Robert, rector of Grappenhall and Mobberley and his descendants Samuel and Byrom; and Robert of Daresbury who went via Essex, Liverpool and Dunham Massey to establish a Nonconformist Congregation at Stand, to the north of Manchester. Published texts have confused the various Richards, Roberts and Samuels. This book sets the record straight.
