Samuel Bourn

Samuel Bourn (1714–1796) was an English Dissenter minister.[1]

Bourn was the third Samuel Bourn and a second son of Samuel Bourn the Younger, and his wife, Hannah Harrison, a widow, née Hannah Taylor of Kendal.

He was educated at Stand grammar school, Lancashire, and the University of Glasgow. In 1742 he became dissenting minister of Rivington, Lancashire, where he enjoyed the friendship of Hugh Willoughby, 15th Baron Willoughby of Parham. In 1754 Bourn moved to Norwich to assist the presbyterian minister John Taylor, who three years later left for Warrington Academy.
