Son of Maturin and Lydia Harris Ballou
Born 15 Sept 1758
David Ballou (1758-1840) was the first of Elder Maturin's children to become a Universalist. He was converted by Caleb Rich in 1789. David then helped to convert his younger brother, Hosea. A farmer-preacher, David never entered the full-time ministry because he did not like to accept payment for his religious services. He first preached in the Richmond area, then, in 1799, moved to a farm in Monroe, Massachusetts, from which base he itinerated throughout northwest Massachusetts and southern Vermont. In 1812 he organized the Universalist society in Whitingham, Vermont. He attended the New England Universalist General Convention at least a dozen times.
Father of Moses Ballou. Brother of Reverend Hosea Ballou.
