William Wright Stanger, Jr.

William Wright Stanger, Jr. (1809-1877), was the son of William Stanger and grandson of the Rev. John Stanger (1743-1823), Baptist minister at Bessels Green (1766-1823). W. W. Stanger was a member of William Newman’s congregation at Bow. During the mid-1840s, Stanger served as the chief accountant for the BMS (which explains his presence in several letters in Part Six of this volume). Stanger was also active in the work of the Bible Society. See J. H. Y.
