Hosea Hildreth
Hosea Hildreth (January 2, 1782 – 1835) was an educator and minister in Massachusetts and New Hampshire.
Born in 1782 in Massachusetts, he graduated from Harvard College in 1805.[1]
His son, Richard Hildreth was born in Deerfield, Massachusetts in 1807, where Hosea Hildreth was the ninth head of school at Deerfield Academy.[2]
He taught mathematics at Phillips Exeter Academy from 1811 to 1825.[1]
As minister of the First Church of Gloucester, he was, according to his son, the last Congregationalist minister ordained by a mixed group of Unitarian and orthodox Congregationalists, when he was called to the pulpit in 1825.[2] He was also notable as the last Congregationalist pastor to exchange pulpits with both Unitarian and orthodox pastors.[3] This practice and his sympathies eventually led to his expulsion from the Essex Association.[1]
