His father was the judge and diarist Samuel Sewall and his mother, Hannah, was a daughter of the silversmith John Hull, one of the founders of Old South Church. Rev. Sewall graduated from Harvard in 1707 at 19 years old and married his wife Elizabeth in October 1713, shortly after becoming the Ordained Pastor of the church.
