Mayo, Daniel

Mayo, Daniel a Presbyterian divine of some note, was born in London or vicinity in 1672. He was educated first at home, then went abroad and studied for some time in Holland under Witsius. On his return to England he preached successively at Tothill Fields, Westminster, at Kingston-upon-Thames, and at Hackney, and finally settled permanently at Silver Street, London, where he died in 1733. Mr. Mayo was a man of considerable talents, great zeal and activity, combined with prudence. Besides publishing many sermons, he wrote, in continuation of Henry's Exposition, a Commentary on the Second Epistle to the Corinthians. See Allibone, Dict. of Brit. and Amer.
