Excerpt from Historical Discourse: Delivered at the Hundredth Anniversary of the Organization Second Congregational Church, Norwich, Conn;, July 24, 1860 Some of you may like to be introduced to Mr. Whitaker, whose agency was so prominent in the primary movements of this church. I will present him to your acquaintance, pre suming that he is a stranger, of whom most of you have little or no knowledge. He was born in Concord, Mass., and was graduated at Harvard College in the year 1730. His first set tlement was in New Jersey, where he acquired such a stand ing in his profession as to procure from Princeton College the honorary degree of Doctor of Divinity. He was a staunch Presbyterian of the old Scotch stamp, and made an earnest effort to plant that order here. But the two old Puritan N a thaniels, Backus and Shipman, declined coming into such ar rangement, and they carried their point, and Congregation alism was the vine here planted.
