John Hyatt (12 January 1767 – 30 January 1826) was an Englishman of simple rural upbringing who found Wesleyan theology as a young man. He went on to become a much loved and revered driving force of early Methodism in London, becoming influential in continuing the First Great Awakening started by George Whitefield in the 1740s. John was to be found preaching regularly in the East End slums of Hackney in London. He gained a large following and was always in demand for his sermons, which were greatly influenced by those of John Wesley and George Whitefield. ==Family== John Hyatt 〔The official Hyatt Family history (http://www.hyattfamily.co.uk )〕 was born on 12 January 1767 in Sherborne, Dorset, England to John Guppy Hyatt and Elizabeth Hyatt. He was baptised on 24 January 1767, in Sherborne, Dorset, England. Hyatt died on 30 January 1826, aged 59, in Hackney, London, and was buried in Bunhill Fields, London. Hyatt married at the age of 20 years and his wife, Elizabeth Westcombe, was born in 1765 in Kingston, Somerset, England to William Westcombe and Eleanor Varder. She was baptised on 8 February 1765, in Kingston St Mary, Somerset. She died in 1832, aged about 67, and was also buried in Bunhill Fields Cemetery with her husband. Elizabeth Westcombe was a niece of the Rev. Daniel Varder, a Dissenting Minister, who arrived in Sherborne around 1757. Some time after this, his niece Elizabeth Westcombe joined him. Daniel Varder was ordained a Minister on 6 Oct 1757 in Sherborne, Dorset. Of Hyatt's parents, little is known other than that his Father was abandoned as a young man when his own Father left for the East Indies from Sherborne. There is no trace of his demise. It is said of Hyatt's father "that having no friends possessed of considerable means, was taken in and trained up amidst scenes of obscurity and dependence. When but very young, he entered upon the married life, after which he commenced business in a small public house in his native town, where, by the aid of divine providence, and a prudent and excellent wife, he brought up a numerous family in decency and comfort".〔Quoted from family correspondence, researched by Paul F. Cranefield for his book 'Born Wanderer: The Life of Stanley Portal Hyatt' ISBN 0-87993-601-0〕 One of his children was to become The Rev. John Hyatt. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「John Hyatt (clergyman)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
