Biographical History
John Checkley was an Anglican merchant and bookseller in Boston, a zealous advocate for the Church of England against New England's Puritan Dissenter majority, and the author of " Choice dialogues between a godly minister and an honest country-man," 1719(?), which led to his trial in 1720 on the charge of being "disaffected" toward the king. His publication of another controversial pamphlet, by Charles Leslie, led to a second trial in 1723, and a third in 1724. He became an Anglican priest in 1738.
