D. there in 1822. He was pastor of the Congregational Church in Madison, Connecticut, from 1791 till his death, and from 1812 till his death was a fellow of Yale. Eleven of his discourses, one of them an "election sermon," were printed, and he was also, with Samuel Johnson, Jr., of Guilford, Connecticut, author of the first American dictionary of the English language, which is now a great rarity (Suflield, Connecticut, 1800). Mr. Johnson had published a small "School Dictionary" the previous year.
