Nathaniel Spinckes (1653–1727) was an English nonjuring clergyman, a leader in the dispute among the nonjurors about the "usages" which split the "non-usagers", (those who advocated the retention of the Book of Common Prayer as it was), against returning to the first prayer-book of Edward VI, as the "usagers", led by Jeremy Collier, advocated.
His mother was Martha, eldest daughter of Thomas Elmes of Lilford, to whom Edmund Spinckes was chaplain.
Nathaniel received his early education from a neighbouring clergyman, Samuel Morton, rector of Haddon[1] (then in Huntingdonshire).
[1] After the Glorious Revolution he declined to take the oath of allegiance to William III and Mary II, and was deprived of all his preferments in 1690.
Of a large family, only two survived their parents: William, who became a successful merchant; and Anne, who married Anthony Cope.
