an English Wesleyan minister, famous for his zeal, eccentricity, and success, was born at Workington, Cumberland, in 1788. He was converted under the Methodist ministry, applied himself to study, became a local preacher-preaching and being persecuted everywhere and was received by the Conference in 1815. His circuits were principally in the north of England and in Scotland.
