an English Congregational minister, was a descendant of one of the oldest Nonconformist families in the county of Cumberland. He was destined by his friends for mercantile life, but after his conversion at the age of twenty, he desired to become a missionary. He was, however, persuaded to study for the ministry at home, and spent four years at Highbury in that preparation. By invitation of the Irish Evangelical Society he took charge of the small Independent congregation at Tralee, Ireland, in December 1843. He labored with true missionary zeal in this field until declining health forced him to relinquish his work. He returned to England, and died June 23, 1847. See (Lond.) Cong. Year-book, 1848, page 214.
