Welcome to the Alexander MacWhorter Page! We have acquired quite a bit of his published works, and also that of his esteemed younger associate, Edward Dorr Griffin, D.D.
MacWhorter, ( 1734-1807 ), was one of the luminaries of the Presbyterian Church who played a major role in the American Revolution, along with John Witherspoon, President of Princeton and a Signer of the Declaration, John Rogers, Pastor of the Brick Presbyterian Church on Wall St. and the Greens, Jacob and Ashbel. MacWhorter was an important advisor to Washington while the army was active in the the New York and New Jersey area.
His academic career included Samuel Finley's West Nottingham Academy in Maryland, which is still thriving, a graduate of Princeton in 1757 under Rev.Aaron Burr, Sr., and studied Divinity under Rev.William Tennant, Jr. ( Tennant's Bio is included on our Princeton Page, Link 1. ) Later, he served as Trustee of Princeton, and was honored with a Doctorate of Divinity by Yale in 1776.
