Hosea Ballou (1771-1852)
Born in an almost uncleared wil-
derness in an area then known as
Ballou's Dell, 1.5 miles east of here,
on Fish Hatchery Road, this farm
boy, reared in the Baptist faith,
became known as the Father of
Universalism. In the 19th century,
as an author and preacher, he
expounded religious liberalism from
pulpits in Portsmouth, N.H., Salem
and Boston, Mass.
