a Free-will Baptist minister, was born in Rhode Island in 1794. He was one of the most laborious and successful ministers of his denomination. He confined his labors to the New England States, because, as we are told, he found the inhabitants more congenial to his tastes and sooner impressed by his methods. He is said to have baptized at least fourteen hundred converts. He was especially gifted in revivals and protracted meetings. After many years of rare devotion to the cause of Christ, he died at North Scituate, R. L, May 30, 1872. See Freewill Baptist Register, 1873, p. 84. (J.C.S.)
