Notes for Elizur (Spouse 1)
• Graduated from Harvard College in 1750 with a A.M (Masters of Arts),

• 1757 - 1758 was the Harvard College Librarian

• in 1746/47, he wrote his name on the flyleaf in Hebrew: Elizur followed by qodesh ("holy") + alah ("oak")

• In 1754, he was invited to be the minister of church at Purpoodock, by a majority of one vote … to which he did not accept. This was because of the division in its society … a ling time feud within the Parish, a portion were sturdy Presbyertains from Scotland, while the others were Congregationalists,

• Was ordained on 31 Jan 1759 at the church of Boxford, where he remained until his death … served as minister of the First Church and Parish (Con­gre­ga­tion­al Church) in Box­ford for al­most 50 years (till 1797).
