Who was John Lathrop?
John Lathrop was a congregationalist minister in Boston, Massachusetts, during the revolutionary and early republic periods.
He served as minister of the Second Church, Boston, 1768-1816, when it was located in the North End—first on North Square, and after 1779, on Hanover Street. In 1776, during the British occupation of Boston, the Second Church was burnt for firewood by British soldiers. Lathrop was considered a patriot. He was elected a Fellow of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1790.
