Jonathan Mitchell, minister of Cambridge, Mass., the son of Jonathan Mitchell, who was born in England in 1624. He was brought to this country in 1635 by his parents, who sought a refuge from ecclesiastical tyranny in the wilderness. His father first settled at Concord, Mass., afterwards he lived at Saybrook, Wethersfield, and Stamford, Conn., and died in 1645. Mr. Mitchell was graduated at Harvard college in 1647, having made great acquisitions in knowledge. Under the ministry of Mr. Shepard his mind was impressed by the truths of religion. While at college he kept a diary in Latin. When he began to preach, he was invited to settle at Hartford, Conn., but he was ordained at Cambridge, Mass., as the successor of Mr. Shepard, August 21, 1650.Soon after his settlement. President Dunster embraced the principles of antipedbaptism. This was a peculiar trial to him; but, though he felt it to be his duty to combat the principles of his former tutor, he did it with such meekness of wisdom, as not to lose his friendship, though the controversy occasioned his removal from the college. In 1662 he was a member of the synod, which met in Boston to discuss and settle a question concerning church membership and church discipline, and the result was chiefly written by him.
