TUFTS, John, clergyman, born in Medford, Massachusetts, 5 May, 1689; died in Amesbury, Massachusetts, August, 1750. He was graduated at Harvard in 1708, and was minister at Newbury, Massachusetts, from 1714 till 1738. He published "Introduction to the Singing of Psalm-Tunes, with a Collection of Tunes in Three Parts" (Boston, 1715), and a sermon, "Humble Call to Archippus" (1829). His work on the singing of psalm-tunes was the first publication of the kind in New England, if not in this country, and was regarded as a great novelty, since not more than four or five tunes were known in many of the congregations, and those were sung by rote.
