| Notes |
- Jeremiah Day graduated at Yale College in 1756. Having pursued the study of divinity, for one
year, with Rev. Dr. Joseph Bellamy of Bethlehem, Conn., he was for the two subsequent years a
teacher, and then for nine years a farmer in Sharon, Conn. In Oct. 1766, and May 1767, he
represented Sharon in the General Assembly of Connecticut. Having completed his theological
studies under Rev. Cotton Mather Smith of Sharon, Conn., he was ordained, Jan. 31, 1770 as
pastor of the Cong. Church in New Preston, Conn., and remained in that connection until his
death. He was about six feet in height, and had a large frame, although never corpulent. He had
mild blue eyes, and his countenance was open and expressive of the benignity of his disposition.
He excelled as a pastor, and though not a fervent and animated orator, was a solemn and
impressive preacher. In ecclesiastical difficulties his advice was often sought. While pastor of
the New Preston church, he resided in that part of New Milford, Conn, which about 1782 was
annexed to the town of Washington, Conn. (Source: Family of Thomas Noble of Westfield,
Mass., by Lucius M. Boltwood, 1878, pp. 64-65)
