Jackman Tenney
(30) (photo)
was born on Jan 20 1807 in Weare, NH.(4)
He died on Oct 8 1854 in Glover, VT.(4)
From Swett-Allen, pg. 112: "Rev. Timothy Jackman Tenney, son of William and Susanna (Baily) Tenney, was born in Weare, N.H. January 22, 1807; married April 9, 1840, Izah B.P. Gibson, daughter of Hon. Samuel and Rebecca (Howard) Gibson of Norway, Me. The Rev. Mr. Tenney was a graduate of the Pembroke Academy (N.H.) studied theology with the father of the celebrated Rev. Thomas Starr King and in 1833 began preaching as a Universalist minister...Rev. Tenney died very suddenly on October 8, 1854." There is a thick file on Timothy in the Harvard Divinity School library in the Unitarian Universalist Ministers and Lay Leaders File http://www.hds.harvard.edu/library/bms/bms00900.html It contains a photo of him (above) and a thick sheaf of his sermons. I ordered a copy of the contents of the file and I can barely make out the words, but he was obviously eloquent and seemingly warm. |
