7786. Rev. Israel Loring. Born on 15 Apr 1682 in Hull, MA.165 Israel died on 9 Mar 1772; he was 89.25 Education: Harvard B.A. 1701, M.A. 1704.

From the Loring Genealogy, pages 29–31:107
    Mr. Loring was graduated from Harvard College in 1701, receiving the degree of Bachelor of Arts; he took his degree of Master of Arts in 1704. Meantime he had studied divinity and was called to the ministry of the church of Sudbury; was ordained November 20, 1706, and continued in office and performing its duties sixty-six years; he had no colleague or assistant.
    He was tall and slender, energetic and forcible, yet affectionate. He was a preacher of more than ordinary eloquence, and a writer whose productions found willing readers. He preached on various stirring themes, strongly Calvinistic and serious, warning men of the dreadful results of wrongdoing and the unspeakable delights and rewards of following the right way. “Serious Thoughts on the Miseries of Hell”; “The Glories of the Heavenly World”; a sermon to young men; an appeal to the General Court in his election sermon, to provide for the children of those who had been unjustly punished or executed in the witchcraft madness; “Remarks on the Necessity of Legal Restraints in the Vending of Ardent Spirits,” etc.; such were some of the fruits of his active, earnest,
philanthropic soul. He kept a journal which has been preserved at Sudbury, in the public library and elsewhere, together with a great many letters and other manuscript notes. The journal extends over many years, and tells many items of a strictly personal nature, describes his own feelings at various times but gives little that is quotable for the reading of the public or of the Loring family at large. This is also true of the letters.
    Mr. Loring speaks with deep emotion of the sickness and death of "Simeon," a negro slave, remarking that he was much attached to him because he had been born and brought up in his house and had showed so many fine traits of character, and had just attained his freedom (twenty-one years old the month previous). Nothing in the journal suggests that this was a negro boy,—and, plainly, color and servitude did not cause any separation between the souls of “master” and “slave.” Simeon died May 10, 1755.
    Mr. Loring preached twice on the Sabbath but one before his death, and made the prayer at town meeting the next day, but was taken ill there and carried home in a sleigh; he steadily failed till his system yielded.
    He died March 9, 1772, aged ninety years. In his will, dated October 10, 1770, he gave his estate to his sons, Jonathan and Nathan, his daughters, Elizabeth Manson, Mary Wheeler, Sarah Browne and Susannah Moulton, and his grandchildren, John and Mary Loring, children of his deceased son, John Loring. He had lands in Rutland and Princeton beside his homestead in Sudbury; he ordered his library to be “equally divided” between his heirs.
On 25 May 1709 when Israel was 27, he married Mary Hayman, daughter of Capt. Nathan Hayman (17 Jan 1656/7-27 Jul 1689) & Elizabeth Allen (20 Jan1653/4-), in Hull, MA.165 Born on 15 Jun 1682 in Charlestown, MA. Mary was baptized in Charlestown, MA, on 18 Jun 1682.107 Mary died in Sudbury, MA, on 24 Dec 1769; she was 87.

From the Loring Genealogy, page 29:107
    Mary was a woman of remarkable vitality and efficiency; a Boston paper said of her at the time of her decease that for forty-five years past she had eaten but one meal in twenty-four hours and that was ordinarily a little bread and cheese at night, a little before she went to bed; yet her health was such that she was at the head of her family affairs and business till about ten days before her death. (Her husband, however, speaks in his diary of her invalid condition for years.) “Respecting her offspring, a child of her great granddaughter was baptized by its great grandfather on the Sabbath that she lay dead, and it was called after her name.”

    Captain Caleb Loring was a town officer, selectman, and held other positions; was a justice of the peace. He owned much land,—sixty-nine and one-half acres altogether, including a part of Nantasket Neck; one African slave, two horses, four oxen, five cows, sixty sheep.
    He met with some reverses; Rev. Nehemiah Hobart’s record states that “The barn of Capt. Caleb Loring was burnt by the lightning July 13, 1735. About eleven load of hay and barley consumed in it.” He was one of the subscribers to “Prince's Chronology.”
    He died September 15, 1756. His brother, Rev. Israel Loring, records this event with much feeling. Caleb had been kicked by a horse four years before, and had recovered from the injury, to all appearance. But on the morning of the 14th he was attacked with a violent pain in the breast, “in the place where the horse had kicked him”; remedies were used which gave him temporary relief, but the next day the pain returned with increased sharpness and he died suddenly. Israel speaks in his diary of his brother Caleb with much love and respect.

“Prince’s Chronology”, that is, the Chronological History of New England, was to be a multivolume history of New England prepared by Rev. Thomas Prince of the Old South Church in Boston. The first volume was published in 1736 and coverted the history through Sep 1630. By 1755 three small supplements extended that to Aug 1633. A new edition was printed in 1826:

On 24 Jun 1714 when Caleb was 25, he first married Elizabeth Baker, daughter of Nicholas Baker (ca 1647-1695) & Experience Collier (ca 1662-24 Jan 1695), in Hull, MA.165 Born ca 1692 in Hull, MA. Elizabeth died in Hull, MA on 9 Sep 1715.165

15 Feb 1718/9 Caleb second married Susanna Cox (55451) , daughter of Nicholas Cox (-ca 1704) & Sarah Whitman (40043) (ca 1671-29 Sep 1749), in Hull, MA.165 Born 23 Mar 1693/4 in Boston, MA.109 Susanna died in Hull, MA on 8 Apr 1724.165

From the Loring Genealogy, page 32:107
    Susanna was probably the daughter of Nicholas and Sarah Cocks (also spelled Cocke and Cox), who was born in Boston March 23, 1693-4, baptized at the Second Church three days later. She was certainly a child of Sarah, daughter of Rev. Zechariah Whitman, who married first a man by the name of Cocke and second Captain Robert Gould, by whom she was called “my daughter Sarah Goold” in a deed of land in 1722 (Suffolk Deeds 81: 162) which was sold by Susanna (Cocke) Loring’s daughters, Susanna and Sarah (Suffolk Deeds 95:27 and 130), thus proving their descent from the Whitmans. Rev. Zechariah Whitman presented a Bible '”to my grandson Caleb Loring” in consequence of this relation; the child who received it was the second Caleb in the family; he died soon and the Bible became the inheritance of the father, Caleb; and when he had a third child to whom he gave the name of Caleb, the Bible naturally went to him; he lived to be a father and the book descended in his family till it was inherited by Hon. William Caleb Loring, who holds it now [1917].

Susanna, wife of Caleb Loring, died in her 30th year.165
