John Sergeant (missionary) : ウィキペディア英語版 | John Sergeant (missionary)
John Sergeant (1710 – July 27, 1749) was an American missionary in Stockbridge, Massachusetts, who converted many of the Mahicans to Christianity. Reverend Sergeant was a graduate of Yale, who became an ordained Puritan minister.〔Jones, p. 76.〕 He helped establish a day school at what became Stockbridge, and laid the groundwork for a boarding school, before his early death. == Early life == John was born in 1710 to Jonathan and Mary Sergeant, in Newark, New Jersey. His father died while he was still young, and his mother married Colonel John Cooper, who raised him. Due to a farming accident, he was left unable to move his left hand, which consequently led him to seek a career in academia, as opposed to following in the footsteps of his father, and stepfather, as a farmer.〔Jones, p. 77.〕 He enrolled at Yale in 1725, and graduated as valedictorian in 1729, and his valedictory speech has since been published. In September of 1731, he was appointed as a tutor and was described as "one of the most successful holders of that office in the early history of the College", serving through 1735.〔Dexter, p. 395.〕 He earned a second bachelor's degree from Yale, in theology, in 1732, while continuing to serve as a tutor.
