Vita et educatio[recensere | fontem recensere]
Occom, filius Iosue Tomacham et Sarah uxoris, fertur rectus Uncas, principis Moheganorum notabilis, prognatus fuisse.[3] Anno 1743, anno aetatis suae vicensimo, doctrinas praedicatorum evangelicorum Christianorum per Magnam Excitationem audivit, redintegrationem religiosam quae Novam Angliam illo tempore agitabat. Theologiae eodem anno studere coepit in schola Latina Eleazar Wheelock ministri Congregationalis,[4] quocum quattuor annos commoratus est donec ut suum cursum incipere proficiscetur. Occom, praeter scientiam Anglicae meliorem factam, Hebraica legere et loqui didicit. Iuvenis solum unum librum possedit: Biblia Sacra. Ab 1747 ad 1749, ipse cum Reverendo Solomone Williams Novi Londinii Connecticutae studebat.
