generally young men fresh from College. John Hancock was elected teacher, Jan., 1690-1; John Sparhawk, Feb., 1692-3; Nicholas Fessenden, Jr., about 1701; Samuel Danforth, Oct., 1719; John Hovey, April, 1730; Stephen Coolidge, May, 1730; John Hovey, May, 1737; Stephen Coolidge, May, 1741; William Fessenden, Jr., May, 1745; James Lovell, May, 1756; Antipas Steward, about 1760; Ebenezer Stedman, Jr., about 1765; Thomas Colman, July, 1770; Jonathan Hastings, Jr., May, 1772; Jonathan Eames, May, 1776; Elisha Parmele, May, 1778; Aaron Bancroft, Aug. 1778; Samuel Kendall, May, 1780; Asa Packard, April, 1783; Lemuel Hedge, July, 1783.
