Richard & Daniel Mayo

Biographical information has been scarce, but I am interested to learn more about Richard Mayo and his son, Daniel Mayo.

The former has three sermons included in Puritan Sermons 1659 - 1689: What must we do to prevent and cure spiritual Pride?, From what Fear of Death are the Children of God delivered by Christ, and by what Means doth he deliver them from it?, and Invocation of Saints and Angels unlawful. He was also a signer of the Epistle to the Reader commending Thomas Vincent's The Shorter Catechism Explained From Scripture, and the 1673 Puritan Preface to the Scottish Metrical Psalter. He was ejected from the vicarage at Kingston-upon-Thames, Surrey and died in 1695. He was also among the company of men who completed Matthew Poole's Annotations Upon the Holy Bible (his part was the Book of Romans).

His son, Daniel, was among the company of men who completed Matthew Henry's Commentary on the Whole Bible (his part was 2 Corinthians and 1 & 2 Thessalonians). He is mentioned in Philip Doddridge's biography as having taught Doddridge around the year 1712.

Any other biographical information would be appreciated.
