an English Weslevan minister, was born in Helmsley Black-moor, Yorkshire, in 1782. He was converted in his sixteenth year, and, three years after, he left the farm for the ministry. He preached at Berwick-upon- Tweed, Howden (1803), Liverpool, Manchester, and Wakefield. While attending the Conference at Sheffield (1811), he was seized with catarrhal fever; this was aggravated by his journey, first to his native place, and then to London, to which city he was appointed by the Conference, so that he died soon after his arrival, September 17, 1811. "In mental vigor, moral worth, studious diligence, ministerial ability and spiritual usefulness, he excelled most of his contemporaries." See Minutes of the British Conference, 1812; Wesl. Meth. Magazine, 1819, page 241.
