I often heard those who sat under his ministry, speak of him with great veneration and respect. He was born in Hardwick and graduated at Harvard University in 1759. This town was then unincorporated and was called Roxbury Canada, from the circumstance of its being a grant of land to the widows and children of the soldiers from Roxbury, who served in an expedition in Canada in 1690. The proprietors of the township, who resided in Roxbury, to encourage settlers, erected a saw-mill, a grist-mill and a meeting-house, and to aid in the settlement of a minister, they appropriated onehundred acres of land to him in its center. On this he built a house, which is now standing, enclosed a park for deer, and on a small stream in the south part of the tract, he erected a saw-mill'l' which by way of exercise he often took charge of himself. He was of an athletic frame and of great energy of character, of a benevolent disposition and unaffected piety, of liberal viewsj: in theology, an earnest preacher, and much endeared to his people, ready to bear with them the burdens to be sustained in a primitive settlement, often wending his way from house to house by marked trees in making parochial visits. His ministry was highly blessed in training up a church going people. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
