Birth, childhood and education
Pelatiah was born in 1637 in Dorchester, MA to John Glover Esq. (1600-1653) and his wife Anna (Unknown) Glover (abt.1606-abt.1670).[2]

Pelatiah grew up in Dorchester and attended but did not graduate from Harvard.[3]

Career as a preacher
He is said to have "studied DIvinity with Rev. Mather"[4] and became a minister. After preaching in various locations around Boston and elsewhere he was assigned to a church in Springfield, MA and moved there in 1661.[5]
