Thomas DeLaune

Thomas DeLaune (d. 1685), was an Irish non-conformist writer known for running a grammar school and printing house. Protestant persecution forced him to flee to England where he met Edward Hutchinson, a Baptist minister and writer. Thomas would later marry his daughter Hannah. Thomas was a scholar, not considering himself to be a minister or lay preacher but entered into many religious debates. He would speak against Richard Baxter, Obadiah Wills, and Joseph Whiston on the subject of infant baptism.
