9101	Reuben Sears grad. Union Coll., and was settled over a church in Hudson for several years, but his health failing, he removed to Ballston Spa, where he wrote a poem, extolling the virtues of the mineral waters, which was pub. in pamphlet form in 1819. He was afterward settled in Dracut, Mass., and in New Scotland, Albany co., New York, and died in Prophetsville, Ill., 1846. He was a Presbyterian clergyman, and one of the most conscientious and devoted persons in existence. His whole life was made up of untiring effort for the good of men. He was one of the fist to advocate total abstinence. In one of his early sermons on the evils of intemperance, he depicts the sad condition from this cause existing among the clergy and elders, also the members of the church, and tells them of the ruin and disgrace they are bringing upon themselves and the church:--and here the very first idea of the "possibility" of total abstinence seems to have entered his mind, as he exclaims: "Brethren, these things ought not to be; far better than such a state of things should exist, would it be for 'all to even totally abstain' from the use of all intoxicating beverages." As an anti-slavery man he was "a thorn in the flesh" of the Presbytery and Synod to which he belonged, by his persistent introduction of resolutions denouncing the institution of slavery as "wrong in principle and opposed to true godliness." He died in the firm conviction that God would order it otherwise in His own good time.	SEARS, Rev Reuben (I87951)

9103	Rev. Cotton Mather was undoubtedly the ablest of the Mather dynasty, and the most learned and famous clergyman of his day in New England. His industry and capacity for work were phenomenal. He was an omnivorous reader and able almost at a glance to take in and retain the contents of a book. He was a most voluminous writer, his publications being not less than 383 in number. Abroad he had almost a greater reputation than at home. In 1713 he was elected Fellow of the Royal Society, being the first American who received this distinction. Professor Tyler, in his "History of American Literature", has a very comprehensive and condensed sketch of Mather's life and writings, to which we refer the reader.	MATHER, Rev. Cotton (I38134)

In his private capacity, he was a kind husband, a tender parent, an affectionate brother and a faithful friend. In his ministerial character, his conversation was pure, entertaining and instructive; his doctrines plain and scriptural, and his life truly exemplary. He was adorned with hospitality, with singular prudence, and a most endearing benevolence; with a good knowledge of men and things; with a fervent zeal for the glory of Christ and the salvation of souls, and was governed by the united influence of these accomplishments.

9115	Rev. Increase Mather, so named from "the never-to-be-forgotton increase of every sort wherewith God favored the country about the time of his nativity," the youngest and by far the most distinguished brother of timothy, was born in Dorchester, June 21, 1639, and died in Boston, August 23, 1723, in the eighty-fifth year of his age, having been a preacher for sixty-six years, sixty-two of which were spent in the ministry in Boston. He graduated at Harvard in 1656, and being invited by his brother to Dublin, remained abroad four years studying and preaching. In 1664 he was ordained pastor of the North Church in Boston, and continued such until his death. He was President of Harvard College from 1685 to 1701, and enjoyed the distinction of having received from the college the first degree of Doctor of Divinity ever conferred in British America. In April 1688, he was sent to England as agent of the Provinces, to lay their grievances before King James himself. he had five interviews with the King in about six months, and at his request prepared and presented a memorial and petition, but all ended in good words and fair speeches. After the accession of William and Mary in November of that year, his efforts were rewarded with better success, for although he was unable to obtain a restoration of the Old Charter, he procured a grant of the New Charter of Massachusetts, and to him was entrusted the nomination of Governor, Lieutenant-Governor, and the Board of Council, who were to be appointed by the King. In the spring of 1692, after an absence of four years, he returned to Boston, accompanied by the new Governor, Sir William Phipps, and the new government, under the new charter, was quickly put in operation.	MATHER, Rev Dr. Increase (I38139)
9116	Rev. James Hillhouse came to new England early in the last century. His father, John Hillhouse of Free Hall, was the eldest son of Abraham Hillhouse, who resided at Artikelly. His uncle, James Hillhouse, was one of the commissioners to treat with Lord Mountjoy in the memorable defense of Derry against the forces of James II, and was a mayor of Londonderry in 1693. This Abraham Hillhouse was among the signers of an address to King William and Queen Mary on the occasion of the relief of the siege f Londonderry, dated 29 July, 1669. Rev. James Hillhouse was educated at the famous University of Glasgow in Scotland, and afterwards read divinity at the same college under the care of Rev. Mr. Simson, then professor of divinity there. He was ordained by the Presbytery of Londonderry in Ireland, and appears to have resided at or near the ancestral home till the death of his father in 1716. The estate descended to his older brother, Abraham. His mother died a few months afterwards, in January of the following year. Not long after that date he came to seek a home on this side of the Atlantic. he is supposed to have come with the other Presbyterian emigrants from the north of Ireland, who, in 1719, established themselves in New Hampshire, where the towns of Derry and Londonderry, and the Londonderry Presbytery are the permanent memorials of that migration. At the close of the year 1720 he appears in Boston, committing to the press a sermon which he had written nearly four years before on the occasion of his mother's death, but which does not appear to have been preached. "This work, though entitled a sermon," says his historian, "was more properly a treatise in a volume of more than one hundred and forty pages." Cotton Mather speaks of its author as 'a valuable minister,' and 'a worthy hopeful young minister lately arrived in America.' At the Parish meeting of the North Parish of New London (Now Montville) held on the 5th day of February, 1721-2, it was voted,'that Mr. Joseph Bradford be chosen a committee to go to the governor, Mr. Saltonstall, and request him to write to Rev. James Hillhouse to ascertain if he could be obtained as pastor of the church.' It is probable that the official acts on the part of Mr. Bradford were speedily performed, for on the third day of October, 1722, Mr. Hillhouse was installed pastor of the church in the North parish of New London. this church was organized only a short time previous to the call given to Mr. Hillhouse.	HILLHOUSE, Rev James (I99806)
9117	Rev. James Noyes came to Stonington to preach on an invitation of the town in 1664. The meeting house in which he preached was a short distance southwesterly of the present residence off Mr. Henry M. Palmer, west of Montauk avenue. Traditionally, we learn that he resided in the family of Thomas Stanton, Sr., until he was ordained Sept. 11, 1674, and the next day he was married to Miss Dorothy Stanton, daughter of Thomas and Ann Lord Stanton. He made his permanent place of abode upon a large tract of land in Stonington, Conn., which he purchased of Samuel Willis of Hartford, Conn., where he erected him a dwelling house on the site of the present first house, south of Anguilla on the highway from there to Wequetequock, which became the first parsonage of the First Congregational Church of Stonington, where he lived the remainder of his life, dying Dec. 30, 1719. For the first ten years of his ministry he preached as a licentiate, and the last 45 years as an ordained clergyman. He was chaplain with Capt. George Denison's expedition that captured Canonchet, chief sachem of the Narragansett Indians, April, 1676.	NOYES, Rev. James Jr. (I41665)
9118	Rev. James Noyes married in Romsey, Hampshire, 21 March 1633/4 Sarah Browne, daughter of Joseph Browne. They came from Cholderton, Wiltshire to Massachusetts Bay in 1634 on the "Mary & John" (on 26 March 1634, "James Noyce" was enrolled at Southampton as a passenger for New England on the Mary & John). They first settled in Ipswich & moved to Newbury in 1635. They had nine children: Joseph, James, Sarah, Moses, Thomas, John, Rebecca Knight, William, & Sarah Hale. In her will of 28 June 1664, the widow of James Noyes mentioned "my brother Mr. James Browne's," who may have been the minister of that name at Portsmouth. James Noyes was brother of NICHOLAS NOYES. The two brothers were first cousins of THOMAS PARKER {1634, Ipswich} and fourh cousins of PETER NOYES {1638, Sudbury}. Source: Anderson's Great Migration Study Project	BROWNE, Sarah (I08432)

OXENBRIDGE, Rev John A.M. (I81762)
9121	Rev. John Rogers, b. 1507 at Deritend near Birmingham, Co.Warwick,Eng. He was educated at Cambridge, leaving there about 1525, he took holy orders in the Roman Catholic Church about 1526, and from this tie on his life was one of turmoil and strife in the religious world. He became a leader of the Anglican Reformation, and paid the penalty by being burned at the stake on Feb. 4, 1555, his children being forced to witness the ordeal.	ROGERS, Rev John (I47105)
9122	Rev. Joseph Morgan served in various Presbyterian churches in Connecticut, New York, and new jersey between 1697 and 1738, as well as the Dutch Reformed Church of Freehold and Middletown, New Jersey. In 1719 or 1720 he received an honorary degree from Yale College. On 8 July 1726 "Joseph Morgan of Freehold in New Jersey" was named in a document regarding his father's estate. On 11 July 1726 he made a deed as Joseph Morgan of Freehold, and on 29 May 1731 he made a deed as Joseph Morgan of Maidenhead in Hunterdon County, New Jersey. No New Jersey probate has been found for Joseph, Sarah, or any of their children.	MORGAN, Rev Joseph Jr. (I40389)
9123	Rev. Mr. James Fitch arrived in this country in 1638, aged sixteen years, as stated by the inscription on his gravestone in the old cemetery at Lebanon, Conn. He was born at Bocking, County Essex, England on December 24, 1622, son of Thomas and Anne (Reeve) Fitch. Rev. Mr. Fitch finished his theological training at Hartford, Conn., under the direction of the Rev. Mr. Thomas Hooker, who is named as a friend in the ill of Thomas Fitch of Bocking, and of Rev. Samuel Stone whose daughter married Joseph Fitch I. The Rev. Mr. James Fitch is placed by Cotton Mather in his "second Classis" of New England ministers, consisting of "young scholars, whose education for their designed ministry not being finished, came over from England with their friends, and had their education perfected in this country before the college was come into maturity enough to bestow its laurels." (See Magnalia, I, 215, Hart. Edition). In 1646, a church was organized at Saybrook, Conn., and the Rev. Mr. James Fitch was ordained as its first minister. This ceremony, a Congregational ordination in the strictest sense of the term, was graced by the presence of the Rev. Mr. Hooker, and Rev. Mr. Stone, and probably of Rev. Mr. Henry Whitfield, first minister of Guilford, Conn. In the year 1701, the Rev. Mr. Fitch retired to Lebanon to spend the few remaining days of his eventful life. A Brief summer he passed inits quiet, secluded shades while death gently approached. Truly the inscription on his gravestone say, "he fell asleep in Jesus, Nov. 18, 1720, in the 80th year of his age."	FITCH, Rev James (I22272)
9124	Rev. Nathan Stone born in Harwich (now Brewster) Mass., 18 Feb. 1707/8 graduated at Harvard College, A.B. 1726, socially ranking ninth in a class of thirty-one graduates. He then studied theology and on 21 Oct. 1730 was ordained the first pastor of Southborough, Mass. a town then recently set off from Marlborough, Mass. Here for fifty years he filled with acceptance the sacred desk until his death, 31 May 1781, in his seventy-fourth year. Mr. Stone was the earliest known genealogist of the Stone family, and prepared a record of the family, the original of which in 1856 was in possession of his descendants on Cape Cod....	STONE, Rev. Nathan (I101238)
9125	Rev. Nathaniel Mather graduated at Yale college 1715, was settled over the first church in Lower Aquebogue in Suffolk County, Long Island, and remained there until his death. The present foundation of the Congregational Church of Lower Aquebogue is the same as the church edifice stood upon when Rev. Nathaniel Mather was pastor 150 years since, it is stated.	MATHER, Rev. Nathaniel (I101884)
9126	Rev. Nathaniel Mather, the next younger brother of timothy, was born in Liverpool, march 20, 1630, and came to this country with his father. He graduated at Harvard in 1647 and afterwards went to England, where he was presented with a living at Barnstable by Oliver Cromwell in 1656. Upon his ejectment in 1662, he went to Holland and was minister at Rotterdam. About 1672 he succeeded his brother Samuel at Dublin, whence he removed to London where he was pastor of a dissenting church and one of the lecturers at Pinner's Hall. he died July 26, 1697, aged sixty-seven years, and was buried near Bunhill Fields. On his tombstone is a long Latin inscription written by Dr. Watts, which ascribes to him a high character for learning, piety and ministerial fidelity.	MATHER, Rev. Nathaniel (I101644)
9127	Rev. Nathaniel Stone born on the old tone homestead at Mount Auburn in Watertown, Mass., in Apr. 1667, was the first Stone born in America to acquire a liberal education. In 1690 he graduated at Harvard College with the degree of A.B.' until 1773, the graduates in each class were place according to family social rank, and in a class of twenty-two members, Nathaniel Stone was ninth, being preceded only by sons either of political leaders of the Colony or of ministers, a fact which shows his father's good position in the community. After a few years of theological study and preaching, on 16 Oct. 1700, he was ordained pastor of a new church that day organized in the part of harwich, Mass., which over a century later (1803), was established as the present town of Brewster, Mass. Mr. Stone continued pastor of this church for over fifty-four years until his death in his eighty-eight years, and was the sole minister, except during the last six years when Rev. Isaiah Dunster, (Harvard College, A.B. 1741), served as his assistant. "Mr. Stone was a man of piety, talents and firmness, much revered and beloved by the people of his charge. He held a prominent position among the clergymen of his day and published (1731) a volume entitled "The Wretched State of Man by the Fall"; he also published a sermon preached by him before the first Supreme Judicial Court holden in the county. He as tenacious, of high literary and other qualifications for the ministry and rigidly opposed to the introduction of an itineracy." (Freeman's "History of Cape Cod," vol. 1, p.392) His name appears as a subscriber in 1728 for two copies of rev. Thomas Prince's "Chronological History of New England." He died in harwich (now Brewster) 8 Feb. 1755, in his eighty-eighty year.	STONE, Rev. Nathaniel (I101243)
9128	Rev. Pardon Tillinghast, the immigrant ancestor, was one of the most prominent and useful of the early pioneers of Providence, Rhode Island. He was a native of Seven Cliffs, County Sussex, England, born in 1622, and according to tradition, he was before coming to America a soldier in Cromwell's army. He was recorded at Providence, January 19, 1646, as the owner of a quarter share, and as such received on that date twenty-five acres of land. He was admitted a freeman in 1658; was deputy to the general assembly in 1672-80-90-94-97 and 1700; was overseer of the poor in 1687; member of the town council in 1688 and 1691, and from 1693 to 1797. He was the leading minister of his day. For many years he served as pastor of the First Baptist Church of Providence, declining to receive any remuneration for his labors. About 1700 he erected at his own expense a house of worship located near the southwest corner of Main and Smith streets, and in 1711 he deeded the property to the church.	TILLINGHAST, Pardon (I57024)
9129	Rev. Peter Bulkeley was the son of Rev. Edward Bulkeley, D.D., Rector of All Saints Church at Odell (Woodhill) in Bedfordshire, and the twelfth in descent from the first Baron of Bulkeley in the County Palatine of Chester. Odell, where Peter Bulkeley was born, January 31, 1583, is situated in the midst of a rich and fertile country in a bend of the Ouse, a river so tortuous in its course, that fuller describes it as "more meandrous than the Meander." He was carefully educated under the direction of his father, and when about the age of sixteen was admitted to St. John's College, Cambridge, of which he was afterwards chosen Fellow and from which he received the degree of Bachelor of Divinity. He remained at the university until 1608 when he returned to Odell. upon the death of his father, "a good benefice befell him, added unto the estate of a gentleman left him by his father, whom he succeeded in the ministry at the place of his nativity," which, says Cotton Mather, "one would imagine temptations enough to keep him out of a wilderness." About the year 1613, he married Jan Allen, daughter of Mr. Thomas Allen, of Goldington, whose nephew, Sir Thomas Allen was Lord Mayo of London. By this marriage he had ten sons and two daughters. For twenty years he continued Rector at Odell, being a moderate non-conformist, but unmolested because protected by his Diocesan, the famous Williams, Bishop of Lincoln, as was his father before him. "Towards the latter end of this time, his ministry had a notable success in the conversion of many unto God; and this was one occasion for a latter end for this time," for it led to complaints against him for non-conformity, and Bishop Williams having lost the favor of Laud and been sent to the Tower, these complaints were not long kept from the ears of the Archbishop, and the long-time Rector of Odell was silenced by Laud's Vicar General, Sir Nathaniel Brent. Like Cotton, Hooker, Mather, Eliot, Chauncy and others of his compeers, he was now compelled to look to America for that liberty of conscience which ecclesiastical tyranny did not permit him to enjoy at home. About this time, having been a widower for nearly eight years, he married Grace Chetwode, daughter of Sir Richard Chetwode of London, a lady of noble birth and seventeen years his junior.	BULKELEY, Rev Peter (I80623)
9130	Rev. Roger Newton, who was a student of theology with her father, son of Samuel Newton. He was the first minister at Farmington, Conn., where he was installed on the day that the church was formed, Oct., 1652, he having preached there some time before. He remained there five years when he was dismissed and prepared to return to England. It was always been supposed that he did go to England and after remaining some time he returned to new England and settled in Milford, Conn. Later researches however, have led the searchers to believe that after he had prepared to go the ship left without him, and that he remained in New England until he was called to Milford. He was installed at Millford, Conn., Aug. 22, 1660, and remained over the church until his death.	NEWTON, Rev Roger (I83334)
9131	Rev. Samuel Mather graduated at H.C. in 1671, and prepared himself for the ministry. He then preached in Deerfield, Mass., until the destruction of that town by the Indians, in 1675; from there he went to Hatfield, and later to Milford and Branford, Conn., and from the latter place he was called to settle in Windsor, Conn., in 1682, where he remained until his death. It was said of him, "that in every respect e was a fit successor to the venerable John Warham." Descended from a highly respectable and gifted ancestry, he was one, and by no means the least, of a circle of noble men, whose varied talents and pious lives have rendered the name of Mather distinguished among the families of New England, even to the present day. His father, Timothy Mather of Dorchester, was a son of Rev. Richard, third minister of that town, and his mother a daughter of the excellent Maj. Gen. Humphrey Atherton. Thus highly connected, his earlier years were spent in the enjoyment of all the advantages which the best society of tat day could afford. The powers of his mind, the amiability of his character, and his piety, speedily won the esteem and love of his people, and composed the difficulties which existed among them. he was then in the prime of his life, grave and dignified in person, faithful and consistent in his daily life, and benignant and winning in manner. His connection b marriage with the daughter of the Hon. Robert treat, afterwards governor of the Colony of Connecticut, was in itself happy, and served to increase the influence which his gifts of mind and heart had already secured for him in the public estimation. Thus, happy in his public and domestic relations, his life was quietly passed in the faithful discharge of his pastoral duties to his now happy flock. And it is pleasant to record that during the whole period of his ministry, not one shadow of complaint seems to have darkened his or their pathway. On the contrary there is abundant evidence that he was the constant recipient of many marks of public and private respect and care....	MATHER, Rev. Samuel (I101656)
9132	Rev. Samuel Mather, the elder brother of Timothy, was born in Lancashire, May 13, 1626, and accompanied his father to America.

After preaching for a short time in Boston, he returned to England where he became noted as a clergyman. He was Chaplain to the Lord Mayor of London, and afterwards of Magdalen College, Oxford. He preached two years in Leith, Scotland, and then in 1655 went to Ireland where he was made Senior Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin.Though a most liberal non-conformist, he was suspended soon after the Restoration on the charge of sedition. Returning to England he was minister at Burton Wood till ejected by the Bartholomew act in 1662. He afterwards gathered a church at his own house in Dublin, where he died Oct. 26, 1671, in his forty-sixth year. As a preacher he held the first rank and his name was known throughout the kingdom.

Thomas Hooker, son of Thomas Hooker, born in England, about 1586, he entered Emanuel College, Cambridge in 1604. he received the degree of B.A. in 1608, the degree of M.A. in 1611, and entering upon a divinity course, he was elected a Fellow of the College. He left the College before completing the first course and receiving the degree of B.D. There are many reasons for supposing that he went from the college direct to Chelmsford and remained there until being silenced, arrested and placed under bonds to appear before the Ecclesiastical Court; he fled to Holland. Came to new England on ship "Griffin" 1633. The name of his first wife is unknown and nothing of the parentage of his second wife, whose name was Susanna. His second wife survived him, and though nothing is positively known about her, there are many reasons for believing that in later years she became the wife of Elder William Goodwin and died at Farmington, Conn.

9136	Rev. War Vet, Daniel Brown was the first settler of Brookfield. Capt. Daniel b. Mar. 20, 1725, m. (1) Theody Park of Groton CT. m. (2) Abigail Crary. First settler of Brookfield, NY, 1791. Capt. Daniel Brown [Daniel, Thomas, Thomas], born Stonington, Conn, Mar. 20, 1725. Resided in Stonington until his removal to Brookfield, NY. In Oct, 1763, the Assembly of Connecticut among its acts established, 'Mr. Daniel Brown, jun., to be Lieutenant of the 6th company or trainband in the town of Stonington.' [XII - Conn. Col. Rec., p. 195]. In Oct. 1769, the Assembly established him as captain in the same company. [XIII. Conn. Col. Rec., p. 244] No other person is known who could have been the person referred to in the acts in question. He is referred to as Capt. Daniel in the records of those families who have the tradition that he was a Quaker. No record exists of any service in the Revolutionary War. He was the first settler in the town of Brookfield, Madison County, NY, locating there in 1791, his house having been commenced on July 4 of that year. An account of Capt. Daniel Brown and his family will be found in 'The History of Chenango and Madison Counties,' edited by James H. Smith and published by D. Mason & Co., of Syracuse, 1880, and in Mrs. Hammond's 'History of Madison County.' He married first, in Stonington, Theody Park, of Groton, Conn, by whom he had two children. He married second, Abigail Crarey, by whom he had twelve children, three sons and nine daughters. Such was their extraordinary stature that it was said that Capt. Brown had 'sixty feet of daughters.' One of his waggish descendants used to say, by way of explanation, that Capt. Brown had six daughters, each ten feet in height. Tales are still told among their descendants of the wonderful strength of Isaac and of the wonderful vitality of Nathan. On one occasion Nathan was caught under a fallen tree. His brother alone lifted the tree, which five men were unable to move, and Nathan, although terrible injured, and given up by the doctors, was out in six weeks. The tall clock which certainly belonged to Nathan, and probably belonged to his father, is in the possession of Ralph W. Brown, of Norwalk, Ohio. One of the descendants, being asked as to the religion beliefs of the family, says: 'Few of the family have connected themselves with any special church denomination. But the one motto which has passed from father to son down throughout the years, painted on a silver background with letters of gold, set with diamonds, rubies, and precious stones, is 'Do unto others as ye would others should do unto you.' Impressed on the mind, and in stilled in the heart, this makes a pretty good religion.' Posted on Find A Grave created by: Andrew L.	BROWN, Capt Daniel Jr. (I08154)
