YALE COLLEGE, CLASS OF 1821

ALBERT JUDSON, the second son of Deacon Benjamin and Esther (Minor) Judson, of Woodbury, Connecticut, was born on September 28, 1798.

After graduation he taught in East Windsor, and studied theology in New York City.

He was then for about four years engaged in New York City in missionary work, partly as an agent of the Sunday School Union, receiving Presbyterian ordination in 1825 or 6.

He married, on December 3, 1829, Mary Amanda, daughter of the Hon. Oliver and Sarah (Rogers) Turnham, of Cornwall, Connecticut, having already removed to Philadelphia, where after a further interval of missionary labor, he was installed in November, 1832, as pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Southwark.

He died of consumption in Philadelphia, after a protracted and painful illness, on April 4, 1839, in his 41st year.

His widow died on April 25, 1842, at the age of 38. Their children were two sons and a daughter.
