Famous people with Jerusha first name

Jerusha Bingham Kirkland

Jerusha Bingham Kirkland (October 15, 1743 – January 23, 1788) was a prominent colonial American pioneer in the missionary cause. She and her husband, Rev. Dr. Samuel Kirkland, were instrumental in bringing about many conversions to Christianity among the Oneida people. Mrs. Kirkland was known for her kind deeds as a nurse and medical benefactor to the Native Americans, gaining wide influence among the indigenous people of the region. Born into a devout Christian family in Windham, Connecticut, Jerusha married Rev. Dr. Samuel Kirkland in 1769 and joined him in his missionary work among the Oneidas. Despite the challenges of living in the wilderness near Fort Stanwix, the couple tirelessly pursued their joint missionary labors, with Jerusha instructing and praying for the women and children of the tribe. Alongside her missionary work, Jerusha was a dedicated wife and mother of eleven children. She passed away in Clinton, Oneida County, New York in 1788, leaving behind a legacy of public spirit, energy, wisdom, and devotedness.
