Title A name given to the resource Engraved portrait of William Emerson Subject The topic of the resource William Emerson Description An account of the resource William Emerson—son of Concord’s Revolutionary minister and father of its Transcendental philosopher—was born in Concord in 1769, in the Block House (which then stood on the present site of the Middlesex Savings Bank, and now stands at 57 Lowell Road), before his parents moved to the Manse. He graduated from Harvard College in 1789, was settled as minister over the church in Harvard, Massachusetts, in 1792, and in 1799 became pastor of the First Church in Boston. In 1796, Emerson married Ruth Haskins (1768-1853), daughter of successful Boston merchant John Haskins, a cooper and distiller. Their eight children were: Phebe Ripley (1798-1800); John Clarke (1799-1807); William (1801-1868); Ralph Waldo (1803-1882); Edward Bliss (1805-1834); Robert Bulkeley (1807-1859); Charles Chauncy (1808-1836); and Mary Caroline (1811-1814). William and Ruth Emerson paid careful attention to both the religious and the intellectual development of their children. William, a liberal minister with a taste for literature, encouraged scholarship as well as religious devotion in his sons. He was a sociable man, well-respected in his community. His public position brought frequent visitors to the Emerson home. Ruth Haskins Emerson was a pious woman who met the various demands made upon her as the wife of a prominent man and as a mother. Ralph Waldo Emerson’s world was radically altered in 1811, when his father died, leaving Mrs. Emerson to support and raise the young family on her own. In a letter written to his brother William on February 10, 1850, Emerson recorded what little he could remember of their father, and his assessment of the man’s talents: “I was eight years old when he died, & only remember a somewhat social gentleman, but severe to us children, who twice or thrice put me in mortal terror by forcing me into the salt water off some wharf or bathing house … I have never heard any sentence or sentiment of his repeated by Mother or Aunt, and his printed or written papers, as far as I know, only show candour & taste, or I should almost say, docility, the principal merit possible to that early ignorant & transitional Month-of-March, in our New England culture. His literary merits really are that he fostered the Anthology & the Athenaeum. These things ripened into Buckminster Channing & Everett.” Source A related resource from which the described resource is derived Cabot's Life of Ralph Waldo Emerson Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Concord Free Public Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource 1812 Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource All Materials Courtesy of the William Munroe Special Collections at the Concord Free Public Library Concord Emerson First Parish William Emerson https://sc.concordlibrary.org/files/original/0f615e3d0a9247c3edfbc9907f534610.jpeg 359b32d507534b700b65918794d839eb Dublin Core The Dublin Core metadata element set is common to all Omeka records, including items, files, and collections.

Title A name given to the resource Portrait of William Emerson Subject The topic of the resource William Emerson Description An account of the resource Born in Malden in 1743 to the Reverend Joseph Emerson and his wife Mary Moody Emerson, William Emerson—Ralph Waldo’s grandfather—graduated from Harvard College in 1761. He served as a supply preacher here after the death in 1764 of Daniel Bliss, was chosen as Concord’s pastor in February of 1765, and ordained on January 1, 1766. In that same year, he married Phebe Bliss, daughter of his predecessor in the Concord pulpit. In 1770, he moved his wife and the first of their five children (William, born in 1769) from the Block House—the Bliss family home—to the Manse, the house he had readied for them near the North Bridge. The Concord Fight of April 19, 1775 took place in view of his Manse. William Emerson was a popular as well as an eloquent minister. A champion of political liberty, he was one of Concord’s Revolutionary leaders. When the Provincial Congress met in Concord in October of 1774, he officiated as chaplain. On August 16, 1776, just after the birth of his fifth child, he left Concord to serve as army chaplain at Ticonderoga. He never returned. He became sick, and died at Rutland, Vermont, on October 20th, while trying to come home. In his 1835 discourse, Ralph Waldo Emerson wrote of his grandfather: “William Emerson, the pastor, had a hereditary claim to the affection of the people, being descended in the fourth generation, from Edward Bulkeley, son of Peter. But he had merits of his own. The cause of the colonies was so much in his heart, that he did not cease to make it the subject of his preaching and his prayers, and is said to have deeply inspired many of his people with his own enthusiasm.” Creator An entity primarily responsible for making the resource Artist unknown Publisher An entity responsible for making the resource available Concord Free Public Library Date A point or period of time associated with an event in the lifecycle of the resource Undated Rights Information about rights held in and over the resource All Materials Courtesy of the William Munroe Special Collections, Concord Free Public Library Concord Emerson First Parish William Emerson
