Biographical History
Presbyterian clergyman, who also used the pseudonym Kirwan.
After attending Williams College, Nicholas Murray graduated from the Princeton Theological Seminary in 1829 at the age of 27. Murray was assigned to the church in Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, which was a very poor congregation. In order to raise funds for his church, he traveled throughout the region, requesting funding from other wealthier Presbyterian churches. One of his stops was at the First Presbyterian Church in Elizabethtown, New Jersey. He made such an impression with the congregation that he was invited to become their pastor upon the resignation of its pastor, the Reverend John McDowell in 1833. It was during his pastorate in Elizabethtown that he began extensive research on his predecessor, the Reverend James Caldwell, who was murdered by a disgruntled Revolutionary soldier, James Morgan.
