REV J AM ES SABI N E

REV. JAMES SABINE

b. May 26, 1774, at Fart'haiii, Hauls, Kiii^laiid, aiui m. Auj^aist 19,
1800, Aim Danfonl, only daut^hler of Isaac Daiiford, Ksqre., attorney at
law, County of Gloucester, England. He entered the Presbyterian min-
istry and lived in —

Uley, Gloucestershire 1800-04

Croyden, Surrey 1804-06

Deptford and Greenwich, London 1806-08

Tunbridge Wells, Kent 1808-15

Tottenham, near Lt)ndon 1816

vSt. John's, Newfoundland 1816-18

Boston, Massachusetts 1818-30

Bethel, Vermont " 1830-45

He left England with his wife and seven children, sailing May 6,
1816, from London, and arrived on the 15th of the following month at
Saint John's, where he preached until after the two great fires which
devastated that city. He then removed to Boston, where he arrived with
his familv July 18, 1818, and soon commenced to preach in Boylston
Hall, corner of Washington and Boylston streets. The society thus
started became the Essex Street Church, the corner stone of which was
laid January 26, 1819, and the church dedicated December 15, 1819. In
the course of two years differences arose and by a vote of March 6, 1822,
it was resolved to withdraw to Boybston Hall. This body retained the
name of Essex Street Church until November 26, 1823, when they were
received into the Londonderry Presbytery. Thus they became the Second
Presbyterian Church of Boston, but tliey are known as the First Presby-
terian Church.

In 1828 Mr. Sabine withdrew from the Presbyterian Church, took
orders in the Protestant Episcopal Church, and was ordained priest by
Bishop Gri-swold. He was the first rector of Grace Church, Temple
Street, Boston, and was, in 1830, transferred to the diocese of Vermont,
and became rector of Christ Church, Bethel, where he preached for
fifteen years. His wife d. October 2, 1837, at Bethel, and on October 11.
1840, he m. Mrs. Dorcas W. Monroe, widow of Rev. Matt Monroe, at
Trinity Church, Bridgewater, Mass. vShe d. October 14, 1880. at Newport,
R. I., aged 93 years. He d. October 2, 1845. at the home of his daughter,
in Randolph Center, Vermont. Pie was the author of an Ecclesia.stical
Historv (Bo.ston, 1820), as well as numerous published sermons.
