Samuel Davies
Samuel Davies (1723–1761) was a New Side Presbyterian minister whose preaching in Hanover County, Virginia, during the Great Awakening gathered dissenting congregations across the colony and won them legal toleration. He preached and taught reading to enslaved Virginians, wrote hymns, rallied the Virginia militia during the French and Indian War, and in 1759 succeeded Jonathan Edwards as president of the College of New Jersey (Princeton), where he died at thirty-seven.
