Biographical History
American clergyman and poet.
Distinguished Episcopal clergyman, rector of the Church of the Holy Communion, New York City, 1846-1877. His hymn "I would not live alone" is widely known.
William Augustus Muhlenberg was an evangelical clergyman in the Episcopal Church, known for his innovative and influential education theories. Born into a prominent Philadelphia family, he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, and was ordained in the church. He held several ecclesiastical posts, first in Lancaster, and later in New York. While rector of St. George's in Flushing, Long Island, he founded St. Paul's College; although financial woes caused the school to close, it served as a template for later institutions such as the Groton School. He also founded St. Luke's hospital in New York City, and a philanthropic community on Long Island Sound.
Charles Nicoll Bancker was a merchant and financier.
Matthew Clarkson (1758-1825) was an American military officer during the American Revolution and lived in New York City. Matthew Clarkson, Jr. (1796-1883) was a resident of Flatbush. Charles P. McIlvaine (1799-1873) was rector of St. Ann's Church in Brooklyn from 1827 to 1833. William A. Muhlenberg (1796-1877) was an Episcopal minister in Flushing and New York City. Cyrus Bull was secretary of St. Ann's Church.
