The first notable member of this family, Richard, was removed from ministry after it came out he had never worn a surplice and he wrote A Treatise on Justification. Another member of this family, Samuel, wrote a tract against Valentine Greatrakes that no one would publish, and was the first Harvard graduate to teach at that school. One member of this family notably spoke out against his son's most notable work while president of Harvard, that work being Cases of Conscience Concerning Evil Spirits. That son was a member of the Royal Academy for his work with smallpox inoculation but is better known as the puritan preacher who orchestrated witch trials in Massachusetts.
