Notities over Abraham PIERSON

Information provided by Nareen Lake indicates that Rev. PIERSON was the son of Rev. Abraham & Abigail PIERSON, born in Lynn, MA in 1645. A graduate of Harvard College in 1668, he became an ordained minister in 1689. He assisted his father in the pastorate at Newark, New Jersey from 1678 until his father's death, at which time he replaced his father until 1694. He was then appointed pastor at Killingworth (now Clinton), CT.

Rev. PIERSON along with Rev. James PIERPONT was involved in the founding of a collegiate school in New Haven, later known as Yale University. He was one of the eleven trustees established by the school's charter of 1701 and was rector there until his death in 1707.

A bronze statue by Launt Thompson was erected to the memory of Rev. Abraham PIERSON on the Yale grounds in 1874. A residential college on the New Haven campus is named for him.
