Noah Worcester

Noah Worcester
Noah Worcester (1758-1837), entirely self-educated after the age of 15, studied and thought his own way to unitarian doctrine and also to pacifism. A formally unschooled farmer and school teacher, he became a respected and influential minister, author, editor and peace advocate, honored by two institutions of higher learning and a "father of the American peace movement."

Born to Noah and Hannah Worcester on their farm in Hollis, New Hampshire, Noah descended from generations of ministers. His great grandfather, William Worcester, had come from Salisbury, England to serve the church in Salisbury, Massachusetts, founded in 1638. More
