The following was on the Samson Occum page, which I will make into a redirect:

Samson Occum (1723 – 1792) was a Native American of the Mohegan tribe, who became a Christian minister, active in spreading the gospel among Native Americans of New England and New York.

Occum was born near New London, Connecticut and in 1743, attended Eleazar Wheelock's private school for young men.

In World War II the United States liberty ship SS Samson Occum was named in his honor.
