Robert Franklyn (or Francklin), English Puritan, was born on July 16, 1630 but the date of his death is not recorded. He was ejected from his pulpit for nonconformity in 1662 (he said, "I left my living, rather than defile my conscience by the then Conformity"). He was persecuted and imprisoned often in the following years prior to the Glorious Revolution. He was among the signers of the 1673 Puritan Preface to the Scottish Metrical Psalter. He wrote an account of his own life and short catechism, as well as other works.
