    42. John5 (Eliot) (John4, John3, John2, John1). He is said to have been educated at either Yale or Harvard, to have entered the ministry, and to have taught school in New Haven when young. The Connecticut Journal (New Haven, Conn.) of March 31, 1808, has this, under the heading of deaths: 'At the Alms House in this city, John Eliot, aged 63, descended from a respectable and opulent family in this city, and well known in most parts of the country for his perambulating and wandering disposition.' From this, and other facts in his life which have come down to us, he would in our time unquestionably be pronounced insane, although then not so considered."

    There appears to be no direct evidence that he attended either Harvard or Yale.
