Chauncey Whittelsey (270)
Election date: 1768 (Elected to the revived American Philosophical Society.)Chauncey Whittelsey (28 October 1717–24 July 1787) was a minister and educator, and a member of the American Philosophical Society via his 1768 election. After taking his A.B. at Yale in 1738, he remained as a tutor from 1739 to 1745: during that era he educated a number of would-be leading figures, including APS Members John Morin Scott, William Livingston, Jared Ingersoll, and Ezra Stiles, among others. When George Whitefield set New England ablaze with his evangelical preaching in 1740–41, Whittelsey took the traditionalist, Old Light position. He resigned from Yale in 1745 to focus on business, and only preached occasionally thereafter, until elected to aid the aged pastor of First Church in New Haven in 1758, whom he superseded from 1761 until his own death in 1787. Respected for his learnedness and gentility, many mourned him. (PI)
