an English Congregational minister, was born at Denny, Stirling, April 24, 1811. He was early converted, and began to labor in the Christian cause. In 1833 he entered Blackburn Academy, and in 1837 he became the pastor of the churches of Wirksworth and Middleton, in Derbyshire, where he remained nineteen years. In 1857, after a brief period of rest, he accepted the pastorate of the churches of Hambledon and Skirment, near Henley-on- Thames, where he continued for eleven years. In 1868 symptoms of failing health led him to remove into Shropshire, and after two years, the entire failure of his health induced him to retire to Matlock, where he died, March 22, 1880. See (Lond.) Cong. Year-book, 1881, page 359.
