Jason Lee (missionary)
Jason Lee (June 28, 1803 – March 12, 1845), a Canadian missionary and pioneer to United States, was born on a farm near Stanstead, Quebec. He was the first of the Oregon missionaries and instrumental in the American settlement in the Oregon Country.
==Early life==
Jason Lee was the youngest of fourteen siblings.〔Brosnan, Cornelius J. (''Jason Lee: Prophet of New Oregon )'' New York City: The MacMillan Co. 1932, p. 22.〕 Lee attended the village school and by the age of 13 was self-supporting. A traveling Methodist priest, Richard Pope, was able to convert him when he was 23.〔 He attended Wilbraham Wesleyan Academy where he became friends with Osman Baker and graduated in 1830.〔 Between 1830 and 1832 he was minister in the Stanstead area and taught school. Lee had applied to the London-based Weslyan Missionary Society to proselytize to the First Nations of Canada but his application wasn't processed as Richard Watson, the secretary had died.〔(''Annals of the American pulpit: or, Commemorative notices of distinguished American clergymen of various denominations'' ), Sprague, William B., New York: Robert Carter & Bros., 1856〕
