Samson Occom
The Reverend Samson Occom (1723 – July 14, 1792; also misspelled as Occum and Alcom〔.〕〔.〕) was a member of the Mohegan nation, from near New London, Connecticut, who became a Presbyterian cleric. Occum was the first Native American to publish his writings in English, and also helped found several settlements, including what ultimately became known as the Brothertown Indians. Together with the missionary John Eliot, Occom became one of the foremost missionaries who cross-fertilised Native American communities with Christianized European culture.
==Early life and education==
Born to Joshua Tomacham and his wife Sarah, Occom is believed to be a direct descendant of Uncas,〔(Indian Margaret Connell Szasz ''Education in the American Colonies, 1607-1783'' ).〕 the notable Mohegan chief. In 1743 at the age of 20, Occom heard the teachings of Christian evangelical preachers in the Great Awakening. He began to study theology at the "Lattin School" of Congregational minister Eleazar Wheelock in 1743 and stayed for four years until leaving to begin his own career. In addition to improving his English, Occom learned to read and speak Hebrew. As a young man, the only book he owned was the Bible. From 1747 until 1749, Occum worked under and studied with the Reverend Solomon Williams in New London, Connecticut.
