Richard Bourne - Missionary to the Indians

Missionary to the Indians

My 8th Great- Grandfather 
 6th Great-Grandfather to Jacob Hamblin

Richard Bourne and Jacob Hamblin have parallel lives. Both were called to bring peace to an area the Indians controlled to allow settlers and Indians live in peace. Both were highly regarded by the Indians. One of the interesting parts in where Richard Bourne called down the powers of heaven to stop the sacraficing of Indians and lightening came and split the rock in two. The youtube covers this.

Richard Bourne's missonary work among the Mashpee Indians is discussed at length in Otis's Genealogical Notes of Barnstable Families (1888), pp. 104-111.
