    70. Rev. Stephen White, son of Capt. John, (27) was born in Upper Middletown, June 8, 1718. He graduated at Yale College in 1736, and was ordained pastor of the Congregational Church in Windham, Conn., Dec. 24, 1740, as the successor of President Clap of Yale College.

    He died Jan. 9, 1794, ae. 75, having ministered to the same people more than 53 years. Allen's American Biographical Dictionary says of him, " He was a scholar, a christian, and an able and judicious divine." Rev. Elijah Waterman, his successor in the ministry at Windham, in his published Centennial Sermon thus describes him:

    " Mr. White possessed good natural abilities, improved by early education. In his station he was a workman that needeth not to be ashamed ; and the manuscript sermons left behind him are a testimony of real piety and faithfulness. He was constitutionally modest, and, unless with his acquaintances, reserved in conversation. In his domestic relations he was tender and indulgent; and the same affectionate temper he manifested towards his church and people."

    A facsimile of his autograph is given, from a signature in 1742.

    He married, Sept. 2, 1741, Mary Dyer of Windham, dau. of Col. Thomas Dyer and Lydia Backus. She was born Jan. 31, 1719, and died May 27, 1802, ae. 83
