Rev. David Bostwick of New Milford1

b. perhaps 1712
  • Rev. David Bostwick of New Milford was born perhaps 1712, son of John and Mercy (Bushnell) Bostwick, Jr.1
  • David married Mary Hinman, daughter of Capt. Titus Hinman and Mary Hawkins, on July 30, 1739.1
  • Rev. David Bostwick of New Milford and Mary Bostwick moved to an unknown place Long Island and New York City.1
  • Where Rev. David Bostwick was educated is not found, perhaps in New Jersey College, as he read his profession there, and was an instructor there of an academy at Newark, under Rev. Aaron Burr, (the father of Col. Aaron Burr.) He was settled at Jamaica, Long Island, Oct. 9, 1745, and his instructor, Rev. Aaron, preached his ordination sermon; where Mr. Bostwick continued the faithful pastor of the church, and in perfect harmony with bis people more than 10 years, and where he held a high rank with his fellow ministers, and enjoyed the affections and respect of his society and church. His reputation for eloquence and soundness in the doctrines of bis order, had extended over the country. About this time, a schism had broken out in the old Wall street church in the city of New York, which was the first Presbyterian church in the city, organized about 1719. Anderson, Pemberton, Cumming, and Pemberton, the four previous pastors of the church, had been disposed of by death and resignation, in 1751 or 1752; and the important object of the society was to procure a pastor of talents, pacific in all his tendencies, Bound in his doctrines, and one who by the amiability and force of bis character would the best heal the difficulties in the church in New York. The character of Mr. Bostwick was well-known in New York, and in July 1755, the old first church gave Mr. Bostwick an invitation to settle with them as their pastor. This aroused bis society in Jamaica to a violent opposition to his removal. The Presbytery referred it to a synod; they referred it to a committee, and the committee, after a trial, referred the question of his dismissal back to the synod; and at a special meeting of the synod at Princeton, April 14, 1756, after a full examination of the evidence of the two churches, the synod dissolved his pastoral relation with the church at Jamaica, and Mr. Bostwick accepted the call from the first Presbyterian church in New York, and removed his family to New York, and at once entered upon the duties of his office. His piety, prudence, learning, and fine pulpit oratory, rendered bim at once popular with his new society, and popular with all others.

    Smith, in his History of New York, 1758, speaking of the old First Church and its then pastor, says, "The congregation consists at present of twelve or fourteen hundred souls, under the pastoral charge of the Rev. Mr. David Bostwick, who was lately translated from Jamaica to New York by a synodical decree. He is a gentleman of mild, catholic disposition, and being a man of piety, prudence, and zeal, he confines himself entirely to the proper duties of his profession. In the art of preaching, he is one of the most distinguished clergymen in these parts. His discourses arc methodical, sound, pathetic; in sentiment, and in point of diction, singularly ornamented. He delivers himself without notes, and yet with great ease and fluency of expression."

    In addition to his salary, the society gave him the use of a parsonage in 1762.

    Several of Mr. Bostwick's sermons were printed. In his "Vindication of the Right of Infants to the Ordinance of Baptism," (the London edition) is found some facts worth preserving of the exalted standing, as a man and a divine, which says his gifts and qualifications for the pulpit were of a high order: as a preacher, uncommonly popular; his appearance and deportment peculiarly venerable, with a clear understanding, warm heart, quick apprehension, lively imagination solid judgment, strong voice, with a deliberate, impressive manner, with a commanding eloquence, &c. He probably ranked as high in public estimation as any of the name and family have, since John, his ancestor, came to New England. (See Jamaica Record; Synod; Smith's History of New York; Middleton's Ecclesiastical Biography; Genealogy of the Family of John Bostwick, &c., &c.)2
