Note: The following account of the Reverend Samuel Torrey is found in the Torrey family Bible. It "was taken from a letter addressed to Mrs. Margaret Nicholls Torrey by Dr. Barrett."

"He entered Harvard College, and would have taken his degree in 1650, but left the college with a number of others because a law was passed requiring the students to stay four years in order to take their degrees. He entered the ministry and was invited to settle in Weymouth in 1656, where he continued 51 years, a faithful laborious and exemplary minister. he had a remarkable gift in prayer. Upon a public fast in 1696 he prayed two hours after all the other exercises were over. Mr. Reed, an eminent lawyer, said to Mr. Prince that he and his fellow students regretted that he had not prayed an hour longer. he preached the Election sermons in 1674, 1683, and 1695. He was a person of such depths and extensive views that the governor and council would send for him to come 15 miles to help them with his advice and wise observations. His intimate friends were Gov. Stoughton, Judge Sewall & the Rev Mr. Moodey Willard Hobart of Newton and Thacher of Milton His wife was a daughter of Secretary Rawson. In 1686 he was chosen to succeed Pres. Rogers of Harvard College but declined that honorable station, although he was a fellow of that corporation for a number of years. he died April 10th 1707, aged 76 years."
