Death, May - At Enfield Chace-side, aged 73, John BUCKLEY, formerly a watch-maker in London. He was the last of the followers of Muggleton. "The Muggletonians were the followers of Ludovie Muggleton, a journeyman-tailor, who, with his companion Reeves (a person of equal obscurity), set up for great prophets in the turbulent times of Cromwell. They pretended to absolve or condemn whom they pleased; and gave out that they were the two last witnesses spoken of in the Revelations, who were to appear previous to the final destruction of the world. Like other sectaries, who derive their name from their respective founders, they were mere ephemeral productions, who just appeared and then passed away." Evan's Sketch the Denominations of the Christion World. GM1806
