All of his sons, who lived to years of discretion, the eldest having died very young, became worthy and able ministers of the Church of England.

The third son, Samuel, seems to have died suddenly, while yet a young man; but not without giving, as a fellow of University College, Oxford, many proofs of ability and fitness for the work of the ministry, and especially of "a talent for preaching." Having entered the sixty-second year of his age, on the first of November, 1791 he died on the 17th of January following
