Lathrop Spouse One: Sarah Huntington m. 1712 Spouse Two: Mary Kelly m. 1731 Spouse Three: Phoebe French m. 1761 William Lathrop (b. 1688), married (1) 1712, Sarah, daughter of Simon Huntington, 2nd. He married (2) in 1731, Mary Kelly, and (3) in 1761, Phoebe French. After leaving the Crane house, he lived, till his death in 1778, on his farm at Plain Hills, and was a useful and highly respected citizen. He was a deeply religious man, and during the Separatist excitement, he, and his second wife, Mary Kelly, joined the sect. When summoned before Dr. Lord, for presuming to join with others in setting up a Separate meeting, he boldly gave these reasons :— "1. The minister, denying the power of godliness, though not in word yet in practice. 2. Insisting on imprudencies, and not speaking up for that which is good. 3. Not praying for their meeting (the Separationist), and not giving thanks for the late glorious work. (The preaching of Mr. Whitefield) 4 . Not a friend to lowly preaching and preachers, particularly not letting Mr. Jewett preach once, and once forbidding Mr. Crosswell (Separationist preachers). 5. Not having the sacrament for six months, in the most glorious part of the late times ; and often enough since the church is in difficulty, and oftener now than ever." These were Mr. Lathrop's reasons :— "1. As to commune in the church at the sacrament, I did not commune because I was in the dark, and I thought I was not fit. 2. Another reason, because I was not edified. 3. Because the power of godliness, it seems to me, is denied here, and is elsewhere. 4. By covenant, I am not held here any longer than I am edified." One of William Lathrop's sons, John (b. 1739), became the pastor of the old North Church in Boston. He is alluded to as "John, old North, for little worth, Won't sacrifice for gold." In the famous satirical poem on the Boston ministers supposed to have been written by Dr. Benjamin Church in 1774. This Rev. John Lathrop, or Lothrop (as his name was written), was the grandfather of John Motley Lathrop, the historian, and United States minister to Austria and England. Perkins, M. E.
