a Presbyterian minister, was born April 9, 1800, at Lyme, Connecticut, and was educated at Amherst College and at the Theological Seminary at Princeton, N.J., and in April 1834, was licensed by the Second Presbytery of Long Island, and subsequently ordained at Southampton. In 1835 the Presbytery dismissed him to the Suffolk South Association. Soon after he became pastor of the Boston Mariners' Church. In August 1848, he became the first pastor of the Shelter Island Church, where he remained until his death, August 26, 1861. Mr. Lord published The History of Pitcairn's Island; also various articles on The moral Claims of Seamen stated and enforced, and for several years was editor and almost sole writer and publisher of a review, in which he ably, logically, and clearly discussed profound theological questions.
