Richard Hooker Wilmer
Richard Hooker Wilmer (March 15, 1816 – June 14, 1900) was the second bishop of Alabama in the Episcopal Church. A firm believer in slavery, Richard Wilmer was the only bishop to be consecrated by the Episcopal Church in the Confederate States of America (PECCSA).
==Early and Family Life==
He was born in Alexandria, Virginia, the son of the rector of Christ Church, the Rev. William Holland Wilmer and his wife Marion Hannah Cox, who died in childbirth when Richard was six. His father, a prominent priest in Maryland as well as Virginia and from a family of priests, briefly served as the eleventh president of William and Mary College before his death in Williamsburg, Virginia when Richard was only eleven. Raised in part by his stepmother (his eldest brother dying in Mississippi shortly after his father), Richard Wilmer began working as a teenager to support his family. He regretted his father's failure to provide for his family, blaming in particular (since his father held some of the most lucrative posts according priests) his practice of buying and freeing slaves.〔 at p. 17〕 Accordingly, Richard Wilmer supported the institution of slavery, and ultimately strongly supported the Confederate cause, insisting that history would vindicate his views.
He graduated from Yale University in 1836 and the Virginia Theological Seminary in 1839.
