Samuel STANCLIFFE 1631-1705
Biographical Note

Remained in and around London as a nonconformist minister, and became pastor of a congregation at Rotherhithe, Surrey in 1692.
Books
Stancliffe's will has no specific mention of books; all the residue of his estate was left to be divided between his wife and sons in law. His library was sold by auction in London, beginning 6 March 1706; no catalogue survives, but the advertisement in The Daily Courant referred to "a collection of very valuable books in Greek, Latin and English, neatly bound and good editions".
