an Irish Presbyterian minister, was born at Antrim May 22, 1742. He was educated at the university in Edinburgh, and then migrated to this country (1763), and settled first as pastor in Philadelphia in 1766; removed to Boothbay, Maine, in 1767, and remained there until 1779, when he settled as pastor over a congregation at Newburyport, Mass., and there he died, March 13, 1793. He was a man of powerful eloquence, and exerted himself zealously for the Revolutionary cause. Indeed, he acquired great ascendency over the people of his vicinity by his powers as a preacher and his patriotic activity. He published Three Sermons on Justification (1780), and Three Sermons on the Original Sin Imputed (1791). See Drake, Dict. of Amer. Biog. s.v.
