Richard Pearsall
Richard Pearsall (29 August 1698 – 10 November 1762) was an English
Congregationalist minister and friend of Philip Doddridge
.
Life
Born at
Samuel Jones, academy tutor.[2] It is not necessarily the case, as stated in some biographies of Pearsall, that he became friends with Thomas Secker and Joseph Butler
there, but their careers at the academy almost certainly overlapped, since all three studied there in the late 1710s.
Pearsall was ordained at
Trinitarianism.[3]
He was minister here for about 15 years, from 1747 to 1762.
