Wheelwright, John

The Oxford Companion to American Literature | 1995 | | Copyright

Wheelwright, John (c.1592–1679), Congregational clergyman, emigrated to New England (1636), where in the ensuing Antinomian controversy he supported the views of his sister‐in‐law Anne Hutchinson. He was therefore banished (1637), and became a pastor of churches outside the Massachusetts jurisdiction. His Mercurius Americanus (1645) was a reply to the history of the Antinomians written by Thomas Weld. He was later allowed to return to the colony and held a pastorate.
