a Congregational minister, was born at Wareham, Mass., June 27, 1790, and was a graduate of Brown University in the class of 1814. For some time after leaving college he had charge of the Academy in Wrentham, Mass, at the same time reading theology with the Rev. Otis Thompson of Rehoboth, Mass. Having completed his theological studies, he went to Ohio, and was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church in the town of Lyme in that state. Here he remained about six years. Subsequently he resided for ten years and more in Western New York as a missionary in the service of the American Home Missionary Society, and performed a most acceptable work in preaching to several churches in that newly settled region. He did a like service in sparsely settled sections of New Hampshire and Vermont. For several years he resided at Shutesbury, Mass., preaching as opportunity presented. He died at Fall River, Mass., March 1, 1861. See the Cong. Quarterly, 1861, p. 216. (J. C. S.)
