Aleborn, Jacob, a German Reformed minister, probably came into the ministry through the Independent Synod. He was early engaged in the missionary work at Kensington and Rising Sun. In 1840 he was without a charge, and also the two following years. In 1843 we find his name erased from their roll by the Classis of Pennsylvania, and he was entirely lost sight of afterwards. See Harbaugh, Fathers of the German Ref. Church, iv, 490.
The Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological, and Ecclesiastical Literature was edited by John McClintock and James Strong. It contains nearly 50,000 articles pertaining to Biblical and other religious literature, people, creeds, etc. It is a fantastic research tool for broad Christian study.
John McClintock was born October 27, 1814 in Philadelphia to Irish immigrants, John and Martha McClintock. He began as a clerk in his father's store, and then became a bookkeeper in the Methodist Book Concern in New York. Here he converted to Methodism and considered joining the ministry. McClintock entered the University of Pennsylvania in 1832 and graduated with high honors three years later. Subsequently, he was awarded a doctorate of divinity degree from the same institution in 1848.WikipediaRead More
