John Brackenridge (clergyman)
John Brackenridge ( – May 2, 1844) was a Presbyterian minister who served as Chaplain of the United States House of Representatives (from 1822 to 1823)〔Office of the Clerk of the U.S. House of Representatives〕 and Chaplain of the United States Senate (from 1811 to 1814).
==Early years==
Brackenridge was born in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, the son of Scots-Irish Presbyterians Robert and Margaret (née Douglas) Brackenridge. Thereafter the family moved to the Juniata Valley, Hopewell, now Penn Township in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. In 1779 in what came to be known as the “Brackenridge Massacre”, his father and an older sister named Nancy were killed during an Indian raid. John and his brother James escaped death because they had been in the wilds hunting for a lost horse, but each was given to other families to be raised. The family who took John moved almost at once to the part of Virginia which became Washington D.C. and it was not until 1839, that an overheard conversation resulted in the two brothers being reunited after 60 years time.〔‘’THE BRECKENRIDGE FAMILY ‘’ by Bill Putman; www.billputman.com/Breckenridge.pdf〕〔Proceedings of the Southwestern Indiana Historical Society, Issue 16, by Southwestern Indiana Historical Society, 1922, pages 60–66〕
Brackenridge’s formal education included studies at Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania. Brackenridge was ordained by the Presbytery of Baltimore in 1795 and thereafter, he was charged to serve in the new federal capital at Washington, D.C. The initial congregation he served was known as St. Andrew’s Church.〔History of the Presbyterian Church in the United States of America, Volume 1, by Ezra Hall Gillett, page 19〕〔Journal of Presbyterian history, Volume 3, 1906, page 148.〕
