George Moxon

George Moxon (1602–1687) was an English clergyman who fled England to settle in Dorchester, Massachusetts.

He attended Wakefield Grammar School, then in 1623 he graduated from Sidney Sussex College, Cambridge, with a BA in Theology.

His first position was as Chaplain to Sir William Brereton of Handforth Hall.

Following the public burning of William Pynchon's book The Meritorious Price of Our Redemption, Moxon and his family returned to England in 1653.

Upon his return, he lived for a time in Newbold Astbury, in Cheshire, and established a congregational church in Rushton Spencer, Staffordshire.
