# Samson Occom

> Samson Occom was a Mohegan clergyman and writer born near New London, Connecticut who converted to Presbyterianism and became a cleric. Occom was the second Native American to publish his writings in English, the first Native American to write down his autobiography, and also helped found several settlements, including what ultimately became known as the Brothertown Indians. Together with the missionary John Eliot, Occom became one of the foremost missionaries who cross-fertilised Native American communities with Christianized European culture.
