HOPKINS, Josiah, clergyman, born in Pittsford, Vermont, 25 April, 1786; died in Geneva, New York, 27 June, 1862. He studied with the minister of his parish, and subsequently with Reverend Lemuel Haynes, the colored preacher, was licensed as a Congregational minister in 1810, and, after a year's labor as a missionary in western Vermont, was settled as a pastor at New Haven, Connecticut, in 1811. He remained there nineteen years, teaching theology most of the time in addition to his pastoral duties. In 1830 he accepted the pastorate of the 1st Presbyterian church in Auburn, New York, which he resigned in 1848 in consequence of failing health. While residing in New Haven he prepared for his classes "The Christian Instructor," a theological text book containing a summary and defence of Christian doctrines, which passed through many editions.
