CLINTON, Joseph Jackson, A. M. E. Zion bishop, born in Philadelphia,3 October, 1823; died in Atlantic City, New Jersey, 25 May, 1881. He was of Afr4can servile descent, but enjoyed in his youth many advantages of educati6n that were denied at that time to most of his race. He began his ministry in 1839, became local preacher in his church in 1840, and entered the itinerancy in 1841. He was ordained deacon in 1844, elder in 1846, and was elected and consecrated bishop in May, 1864. During his labors he travelled through nearly every state in the union. He was missionary bishop in the south during and after the war, and very successful in the establishment there of missions and annual conferences. Bishop Clinton was an eloquent speaker, and possessed rare executive ability. He occasionally contributed to the press.
