John Sturgion

John Sturgion (died 1665) was an English General Baptist preacher and pamphleteer.

[2] In 1656, Major-general William Goffe complained that Sturgion's preaching attracted large crowds at Reading, Berkshire.

About July 1656, Sturgion and other Baptists sent an address to Charles II complaining of their sufferings under "that loathsome hypocrite" the Protector, and announcing their return to their allegiance to the king, begging him also to establish liberty of conscience and abolish tithes.

He was suspected of a share in Miles Sindercombe's plot against Cromwell, became one of Edward Sexby's agents, and was arrested on 25 May 1657 with two bundles of Killing No Murder under his arms.

In October 1662 he petitioned for leave to resign his place to Thomas Benbow, on the ground of bodily infirmity.
