Daniel Leeds (November 16, 1651- September 28, 1720) was a Quaker author and then a non-Quaker author. He was born Essex, England. About 1676 he came to the Burlington, West Jersey area. Leeds Point, New Jersey, which was after Daniel Leeds, was where his and his family lived. Leeds Point was at Atlantic Ocean. About 1689 (or thereabouts) become a Epicscopal member, because he have disputes among the Quakers of Philadephia particularly an almanacs published in 1688[1] and a philoshipcal treatise, The Temple of Wisdom[2] He died in South Jersey in September 28, 1720.[3]
Leeds non-Quakers writing included A Challenge to Caleb Pusey (1701).[4] This joined the Keithian Controversy, a dispute with Quakers themselves. Quakers, particularly Caleb Pusey, Francis Daniel Pastorius, John Simcock, Thomas Fitzwater, Samuel Jennings, and Arthur Cooke, and a large number were very upset.[5] George Keith[6] and Keithian (mostly modest Quakers) were expelled or at mininum silenced.[7] Keithian were eventually transfered to other religious sects (more mainstream the Quakers). But it is slow. Thirty years or so with the tradition Quakers and Keithian before it resolved itself. Leeds and Keith were associated each other. Keith and Leeds both emigranted to Anglicans rather the Quakers.
And Leeds was associated with Kabbalah, especially The Temple of Wisdom (1688). With Cotton Mather writing about Jews about 1720s, an essay, which presumably by George Keith, was extensively relied upon. Leeds was leading Christian Quaker, after George Keith left Pennsylvania after 1694.[8]
Daniel Leeds was the origin of the Jersey Devil, because of Leeds' non-conformity religious and politcal themes.[9]
