Solomon on p13: "He entered Harvard College (so named in honor of its noble benefactor, Rev. John Harvard), and graduated from that renowned seat of learning in 1723. He chose the ministry as his profession, was ordained, and preached in Provincetown, Truro, and other places."

"He wrote many articles of merit, and was considered a leader in politics. He was particularly obnoxious to the Tories, who embraced every opportunity to slander him, but he gave them such scathing and brilliant replies in answer to their slanders, as to compel not only their respect, but their admiration. In 1776, he was appointed Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, for Cumberland County, and exercised the functions of that office so admirably as to gain him the approbation both of his associates and of the people. An earnest and zealous patriot, he expended every energy of his brilliant mind in favoring the cause of the colonists during the Revolution. In September, 1774, he was elected to the Provincial Congress. He died in 1781, at the age of 75."
