Agency History / Biographical Note:
Joseph Palmer Fessenden (1792-1861, Bowdoin 1818) was probably born
in Fryeburg, Maine, on October 24, 1792, and died in 1861. He was
a Congregational clergyman in Kennebunkport (1820-1829) and South
Bridgton (1829-1861). Fessenden held very liberal views as a minister,
and urged his church to make more effort on behalf of temperance
and the abolition of slavery. See also the Joseph
Palmer and Phebe Beech Fessenden Papers.
