<p> a Presbyterian minister, was born in Massachusetts, and graduated at Yale [[College]] in the class of 1727. He was ordained and settled at Allentown, N.J., in 1730. He remained here but a short time, and accepted a call from the Presbyterian [[Church]] at Crosswicks. In consequence of inadequate support, he asked leave of the [[Philadelphia]] [[Presbytery]] to resign, which, on due consideration, was granted. He was called to Millstone, N.J., Sept. 19, 1735, and joined the East [[Jersey]] Presbytery, in the bounds of which it lay. He was one of the first members of the New [[Brunswick]] Presbytery, and the only New-Englander besides Treat who was excluded by the Protest. Whitefield and [[Brainerd]] both speak of him in their journals in favorable terms. He died in 1749. </p>
