    "Rev. Pierpont Brockett …was a direct descendant of John Brockett, the American ancestor. He was born in North Haven, Conn., October 30, 1787, and was one of the most noted Baptist preachers in Connecticut for many years. He served as a private in the Connecticut Militia in the War of 1812. His father, John [error for Joseph] Brockett, served in the War of the Revolution. Rev. Pierpont Brockett was for some time a missionary for the Connecticut Baptist Convention, and traveled through the State looking after the interests of the denomination. He was a settled pastor at different periods at Clinton, Saybrook, Essex, West Springfield, North Stonington, Winthrop, Lyme, Colchester and Wethersfield, and was for three years chaplain of the Connecticut State Prison, at Wethersfield. After a long and useful life he retired from active service at the age of seventy-five. He died April 7, 1868, having spent fifty years in the work of the ministry in the Baptist churches in New England. His record of baptisms was 284, and hundreds more dated their conversion from his wise and careful labors with them."
