Classification: Biography
Surnames: Leeds
Two of Daniel Leeds' anti-Quaker writings from the 1690s are available for free download from Google Books at http://tinyurl.com/yam3em . The writings are "News of a Trumpet Sounding in the Wilderness. Or, The Quakers Antient Testimony Revived, Examined" and "The Innocent Vindicated from the Falshoods & Slanders of Certain Certificates Sent from America". In "Trumpet Sounding", Daniel Leeds mentions his parent's religious practices (especially those of his mother - who unforntunately he does not appear to name) and his exposure to Quakerism through them. There might be some other information of genealogical interest as well.
