[abstract:] Rev. Joseph Penniman was third minister, ordained 22 May 1771. Born in Braintree, graduated from Harvard 1765. Ministry covered Revolution, successful in many respects. "Some of the public acts gave evidence of extreme eccentricity", and he was dismissed 29 Oct 1793. "In the light of the present, it would be declared that strong drink caused the trouble." He removed to Harvard where he died.
