Hugh Farmer

Rev. Hugh Farmer (1713-87) was a student of Doddridge's at Northampton in the class of 1731. He subscribed to Volume 1 of the Family Expositor in 1739 and to Volume 4 in 1753. He served as the minister at the Independent (Congregational) church in Walthamstow from 1737 to 1780, living for many years in the home of William Snell, a chancery solicitor and friend of Doddridge (see below). He was also a regular preacher for many years to a Presbyterian congregation in Salters' Hall in London, for Farmer's Calvinism was not as orthodox as most Independents at that time.
