Notes for Matthew Mead:
The Revd. Matthew Mead, born in 1629 and baptized at Soulbury on 7th March of that year. In 1648 he was elected scholar and on 6th August 1649 admitted a fellow of King’s College, Cambridge. He resigned in 1651. He then became morning lecturer at St. Dunstan’s Church, Stepney. He resided in Gracechurch Street. In 1656 he became a member of the Congregational church formed at Stepney by Greenhill in 1644. In 1658 he was appointed by Cromwell to the “new chapel” at Shadwell (St.Paul’s). From Shadwell, as from his lecturership, he was displaced by the Restoration, but obtained a lecturership at St.Sepulchre’s, Holborn, from which he was ejected by the Uniformity Act of 1662. In 1663 he was living at Worcester House, Stepney. Either the Conventicle Act or the Five Miles Act, which came into operation in 1666, drove him to Holland. He seems to have been in London during the great plague of 1665. In 1669 he became assistant to Greenhill in Stepney and after Greenhill’s death succeeded him as pastor. In 1674 a meeting house was built for Mead at Stepney.

There is a theory that Matthew (or possibly one of his brothers) was the father of the William Mead who emigrated to Pennsylvania and was the ancestor of the Quaker Meads of PA and Loudoun Co, VA. So far this is unproven.
