Bookseller. (There are, at least, two books which were sold by Nicholas Fussell that are held by libraries in the U.S. as rare books. These books show that Fussell's shop was one of several located in the churchyard of St. Paul's Cathedral in London, England, "at the ball." One of the books was published in 1632 and the other in 1648, long before Oliver Cromwell died in 1658. (Per Tom Sullivan post of 8 Sep 2003 on Fussell message board at ancestry.com)
