Thomas Maule (Quaker)
Thomas Maule (May 3, 1645 – July 2, 1724), was a prominent Quaker in colonial Salem, Massachusetts.
Maule was born in Berkswell Parish, Warwickshire, England. He originally emigrated to Barbados around 1658 and later relocated to Boston in 1668 before permanently settling in Salem about 1679. He remained in Salem until his death in 1724 at the age of 79.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.maulefamily.com/maule50.htm )〕 Maule was a tailor in Boston, and later expanded his business to general merchandising. He also dealt in construction and real estate while in Salem. It is unknown precisely when Maule converted to Quakerism, although it is suspected his conversion happened while he lived in Barbados.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.maulefamily.com/maule50.htm )〕
==Construction of the Quaker Meeting House in Salem==
During the fall of 1688, Maule was instrumental in building the first known Quaker Meeting House in the United States. He supplied the building materials and land, which he deeded to leaders of the local Society of Friends. Much of the building was constructed using old timber reclaimed from other buildings. The restored Meeting House, reconstructed in 1865 with what is believed to be the building's original beams, is currently located at Peabody Essex Museum in Salem.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://pem.org/visit/historic_houses )〕
