John Ellison Vassar : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Ellison Vassar John Ellison Vassar (1813–1878) was an American lay preacher and missionary. ==Early life== John Ellison Vassar was the son of Thomas Vassar of Norfolk, England. Originally named "Vasseur", the family was descended from French Huguenots who arrived in England in the mid-eighteenth century. Thomas's family were Baptists, and he and his younger brother James (father of noted brewer and philanthropist Matthew Vassar) emigrated to the United States in 1796. They settled near the village of Poughkeepsie, New York and took up farming on the Wappingers Creek near Manchester Bridge. Thomas married Joanna Ellison of Flatbush on Long Island.〔(Vassar, Thomas Edwin. ''Uncle John Vassar'', American Tract Society, 1879 )〕 Thomas returned to Norfolk briefly to obtain implements and seeds. Upon his return, he and his brother and his brother planted the first crop of barley in Dutchess County. They then began to brew ale, which they sold to supplement their income. Their product was so popular that they sold the farm and James moved to Poughkeepsie to start a brewery, while Thomas established a brickyard on the Dutchess Turnpike.〔 John was born January 13, 1813 and named for his maternal uncle. At the age of twelve he began working in the brickyard. When Vassar was twenty years old he sustained a severe injury when his foot slipped through a log bridge over a creek near his house. This left him with a limp.〔
