by Frederick T. (Frederick Turell) Gray
About the author
Born in 1804, Frederick Turell Gray was an American clergyman and author associated with Boston’s Unitarian world. Library and archival records identify him as the author of sermons, addresses, and religious works published under the name Frederick T. Gray, and several surviving titles connect him especially with Bulfinch Street Church in Boston.
His known writings include sermons, Sunday school pieces, and short devotional or commemorative publications, such as New Years' sermons, The Pastor's Gift to the Pupils of the Bulfinch Street Sunday School, and an 1853 sermon delivered after the death of Amos Lawrence. These works suggest a pastor writing for both his congregation and a broader religious readership, with a style rooted in practical instruction and public reflection.
Some records also connect him with King's Chapel in Boston later in life. He died in 1855. While not a widely famous literary figure today, his work remains useful for readers interested in nineteenth-century American religion, preaching, and the everyday language of faith in New England.
