Biographical Information:
Henry Boynton was born in Cornwall, Vermont in 1800. He studied under the Reverend Josiah Hopkins in New Haven, Connecticut, and was ordained by the Addison Association of the Congregational Church around 1824. Boynton began his career serving in Bristol, Vermont and New Haven, Vermont. Boynton relocated to West Babylon (Long Island), New York and began working as a supply minister across New York state, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Vermont. Boynton was a member of the Anti-Slavery Society, and gave sermons on their behalf.
Scope and Content:
This collection includes 100 hand-written sermons and documents composed by Boynton between 1824 and 1858. These include sermons on slavery, prejudice, temperance, and missionary work. This collection also includes Boynton’s ledger book of marriage records, which includes records of weddings he performed between 1832 and 1866. His notes include the names of witnesses and locations.
Boynton recorded the dates and locations of the sermons’ dliveries; most were used multiple times. A small portion of the collection is undated. These annotations have been transcribed into this finding aid. The sermons are arranged chronologically by the earliest recorded date.
This collection came from the estate of Miss Ada Y. Harris of Bridgewater, New York, a descendant of Dr. William Yeats of Butternuts (Morris), New York. It was purchased by the Congregational Library in October 2008.
