"Danforth, Samuel, another son of Samuel, clergyman, b. in Roxbury, Mass., 18 Dec., 1666; d. in Taunton, Mass., 14 Nov, 1727. He was graduated at Harvard in 1683, and subsequently became pastor of the Congregational church in Taunton. All of is contemporaries represent him as a person of great learning and as having influence among young people. During 1705 unusual attention to religion prevailed among his congregation, of which he gives an interesting account in three letters published in Prince's "Christian History." He also published "A Eulogy on Thomas Leonard" (1713); "An Election Sermon" (1714); and "An Essay concerning the Singing of Psalms" (1723). Mr. Danforth left a manuscript Indian dictionary, a part of which is now in the library of the Massachusetts historical society. It seems to have been formed from Eliot's Indian Bible, as there is a reference under every word to a passage of Scripture."
He is brother of John # 39356992 Son of Samuel & Mary Danforth.* Reference: Find A Grave Memorial - SmartCopy: Aug 2 2020, 15:04:34 UTC
