Biographical History
Minister of Portsmouth, N.H.
Rev. Joshua Moodey (1633-1697) graduated from Harvard in 1653 and was minister of Portsmouth, N.H., from 1658 to 1684. After a conflict with a lieutenant governor of New Hampshire, he was tried, briefly imprisoned, and forbidden from preaching, although staunchly supported by Cotton Mather (1663-1728). He became assistant minister for the First Church in Boston, Mass., from 1684 to 1693 and was offered the presidency of Harvarad, which he declined. Moodey took a firm stand against the witchcraft hysteria of 1692, and, following official exoneration from his sentence, returned to his ministerial duties in Portsmouth until his death.
