Krátky popis
The grandfather of Colonel Aaron Burr, the subject of these
memoirs, was a German by birth, and of noble parentage. Shortly
after his arrival in North America, he settled in Fairfield,
Connecticut, where he purchased a large tract of land, and reared a
numerous family. A part of this landed estate remained in the
possession of his lineal descendants until long after the
revolutionary war. During Colonel Burr's travels in Germany, in the
year 1809, various communications were made to him, orally and in
writing, by different branches of the Burr family, some of whom
were then filling high and distinguished scientific and literary
stations. His father, the Rev. Aaron Burr, was born in Fairfield,
on the 4th day of January, 1715, and was educated at Yale College.
In a manuscript journal which he kept, and which has been
preserved, he says, "In September, 1736, with many fears and doubts
about my qualifications (being under clouds with respect to my
spiritual state), I offered myself to trials, and was approved as a
candidate for the ministry. My first sermon was preached at
Greenfield, and immediately after I came into the Jerseys. I can
hardly give any account why I came here. After I had preached for
some time at Hanover, I had a call by the people of Newark; but
there was scarce any probability that I should suit their
circumstances, being young in standing and trials. I accepted of
their invitation, with a reserve, that I did not come with any
views of settling. My labours were universally acceptable among
them, and they manifested such great regard and love for me, that I
consented to accept of the charge of their souls.
