Biography

This profile is part of the Kirkland Name Study.

Graduated Yale in 1720. Was the Congressional Minister for a Norwich Connecticut parish in 1723. Was deemed mentally unfit by a council of church members in 1753 and was relieved of his ministerial duties. He never preached again.

"Rev. Daniel Kirtland m. Mary Perkins, July 15, 1723. He graduated at Yale College in the class of 1720; studied Theology, and was ordained Pastor of the Third Church in Norwich (Newent) Dec. 10, 1723, being their first minister. After preaching to that people nearly 30 years he became deranged, and his connection with the church was dissolved, on account of that calamity. He lived to the age of 72; d. very poor, in 1773, and not having had any monumental stone, the spot which occupies his remains in the burial ground is forgotten and unknown. He was the father of Rev. Samuel Kirtland, the well-known and faithful missionary to the Oneida Indians, for forty years and upwards, and the grand-father of the former President Kirkland of Harvard University. He had 10 children: Mary (1724-1725), Daniel, Mary, Hannah, Anne, Elizabeth, John, Jabez, Lydia and Rev. Samuel."

His son, Samuel, changed his name from Kirtland to Kirkland.
