Life

[edit]

Peter Johnson Gulick was born March 12, 1796, in Freehold Borough, New Jersey, to John Gulick (1766–1838) and Lydia Combs (1768–1836).[1] He studied at the private Lawrenceville School from 1820 to 1822. Along with James Brainerd Taylor (1801–1829) and two other students, Gulick helped found Princeton University's Philadelphian Society of Nassau Hall (1825–1930, now called Princeton Christian Fellowship).[2][3][4][5] He graduated from Princeton in 1825, and did additional studies at the Princeton Theological Seminary in 1827.

On September 5, 1827, he married Frances "Fanny" Hinckley Thomas who was born April 16, 1798, in Lebanon, Connecticut. He was ordained as a Presbyterian minister on October 3, 1827.

On November 3, 1827, the couple sailed from Boston as part of the third company of missionaries from the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions.[6]: 24  They reached Honolulu, Hawaii, on March 30, 1828. They were first assigned to the mission at Waimea on the island of Kauaʻi. In 1835 they moved to Kōloa on Kauaʻi, where the Kōloa sugar plantation had just been started by Ladd & Co.

After the Ladd company failed in 1843, they moved to the island of Molokaʻi where they assisted Harvey Rexford Hitchcock and his wife Rebecca Howard Hitchcock. In 1847 they moved to Waialua on the island of Oʻahu. In 1857 they moved to Honolulu.[6]: 24 

His brother William Gulick married Fanny's sister Eliza Throop Thomas (1804–1903). Their son Charles T. Gulick (1841–1897) also went to Hawaii to serve as a missionary.[7]

In 1874, the Gulicks went to Kobe, Japan to join their sons. Peter Gulick died on December 8, 1877. Fanny died May 24, 1883, in Kobe. They had a total of 8 children who traveled throughout the world.

[edit]
six men and one woman
The seven surviving children all became missionaries
  • Son Orramel Hinckley Gulick was born in Honolulu October 7, 1830, married Ann Eliza Clark (1833–1938), daughter of missionary Ephraim Weston Clark (1799–1878). He served as a missionary to Japan, and returned to Hawaii, where he died September 18, 1923.[6]: 24 [10] They published a history of the missions in 1918.[11]
  • Son John Thomas Gulick was born March 13, 1832, on Kauaʻi, became a missionary and biologist and died April 14, 1923. He exchanged ideas on some of the early theories of evolution with Charles Darwin.[12]
  • Son Charles Finney Gulick was born April 10, 1834, in Honolulu. He died January 18, 1854, in Glenhaven, New York, before he could attend college.[13]

He moved to Boston in 1919 where he died April 14, 1922.[16]

She, Orramel, John, and Sidney are buried in the Mission House cemetery at Kawaiahaʻo Church.[22] Since Julia had not yet been born when her brother Luther Halsey Gulick left for the United States in 1840, the family never was all together in the same place at one time.

All the children except Luther graduated from Punahou School[23] Luther Gulick served as a trustee from 1865-1870.[24]
