Notes for REV. THOMAS HOOKER:

[Tyler, William Seymour D.D.,LL.D. with genealogy history written by Cornelius B. Tyler, Autobiography of W S Tyler, DD,LLD,  (Privately Printed, Massachusetts, 1912), page 307.]

"...called by Mather in his Magnalia 'The light of the western churches,'..."

"He became obnoxious to Bishop Laud, and was summoned to appear before the high commission court at London, July 10, 1630, but secretly fled to Holland, preaching at Amsterdam and Delft. Thence he went to Rotterdam. With Rev. Samuel Stone he brought a party of Englishmen, arriving in Boston, Mass., September 4, 1633."

Ibid., pages 307 and 308.

"Hooker led almost the entire population of Newtown south to found the new colony of Hartford, Hartford County, Connecticut. He was a powerful force in the settlement. He had to do with the first New England Synod (August, 1637), which dealt with the case of Mrs. Anne Hutchinson, being one of its two moderators. He was active in the movement toward the confederation of the New England Colonies 1637, and same year led in the establishment of the written constitution of popular government which was adopted by Connecticut early in 1639. John Fisk says, 'It was the first written constitution known to history that created a government and it marked the beginnings of American Democracy of which Thomas Hooker deserves more than any other man, to be called the father. The government of the United Statesc to-day, is, in lineal descent more nearly related to that of Connecticut than to that of any other of the thirteen colonies.' In 1643 he was invited to sit in Westminster (England) Assembly of Divines and 'advise about the settling of church government,' but declined."

The college was founded in 1700. Mr. Pierpont to the end of his life was the principal person in the direction of this institution.
