Robert Lusk
Robert Adam Holliday Lusk (March 8, 1781 – December 14, 1845) was a Reformed Presbyterian or Covenanter minister of the strictest sort, in a century which, according to Presbyterian historian Robert E. Thompson, was marked by increasing relaxation into less stringent manifestations of doctrine and practice amongst all branches of Presbyterianism.〔Thompson, Robert Ellis. ''(A History of the Presbyterian Churches in the United States. )'' New York: The Christian Literature Co., 1895.〕 His career crossed paths with many prominent ministers and he was involved in numerous ecclesiastical courts at pivotal moments in the history of the Reformed Presbyterian Church. Amongst Reformed Presbyterians, he was an "Old Light," and amongst "Old Lights," he would lay claim to be an "Original Covenanter."
He was descended from a long line of Scotch-Irish. The Lusks were people of Scottish descent who, due to both civil and religious persecution, fled Scotland to the northern counties of Ireland.〔Stiles, Henry R. ''(Families of Ancient Wethersfield Connecticut; Consisting of the History of Ancient Withersfield, Comprising the Present Towns of Wethersfield, Rocky Hill, and Newington; and of Glastonbury Prior to Its Incorporation in 1693, from Date of Earliest Settlement Until the Present Time, with Extensive Genealogies and Genealogical Notes on Their Families. )'' Vol. 2 New York: Grafton Press, 1904.〕 They were Ulster Protestants of the Presbyterian persuasion, a persuasion characterized by fastidious religious observance mixed with an aversion to authoritative persecution. Many of these Lusks settled in America prior to the American Revolutionary War.
==Early life and education==
Robert Lusk was born near the city of Londonderry, Ireland, to William Lusk and Elizabeth Holliday, on March 8, 1781. He was the youngest of five children. He emigrated to America, in 1792, with his parents, shortly before the Irish Rebellion of 1798. They settled in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania.
In 1804, he began to attend the Academy of Greensburgh, Pennsylvania, which prepared him for his course of study. After this, he entered Jefferson College, located in Canonsburg, Pennsylvania. The choice seemed quite natural for someone reared in a dissenting Presbyterian tradition. The College boasted an impressive number of graduates occupying ministerial connections in dissenting bodies, including Reformed Presbyterians, James R. Willson and James Milligan.〔Smith, Joseph. ''(History of Jefferson College: Including an Account of the Early "Log-Cabin" Schools, and the Canonsburg Academy. )'' Pittsburgh: J.T. Shryock, 1857.〕 There he studied mathematics and Natural philosophy with Samuel Miller, A.M.; languages and Moral philosophy with James Dunlap and, there, he began his theological matriculations under John McMillan, one of the founders of the school.〔 This course of study concluded with Lusk graduating, in 1810.〔Eaton, Samuel J.M. ''(Biographical and Historical Catalogue of Washington and Jefferson College, Containing a General Catalogue of Jefferson College, of Washington College, and of Washington and Jefferson College, Including Thus All the Alumni of the Present College. 1802–1889. )'' Cincinnati, Ohio: Elm Street Printing Company, 1889.〕〔Glasgow, William Melancthon. ''(History of the Reformed Presbyterian Church in America ). Baltimore: Hill and Harvey, 1888.〕 He had earned the degree of A.B.〔
