Sansom, James Gkeen, a minister of the Meth- odist Episcopal Church, was born near Bedford, Bedford Co., Pa., May 13, 1794. So destitute was the place of educational and religious advantages, that Mr. Sansom did not hear a sermon nor enter a school-house until his thirteenth year. His early religious training was received from his mother, a member of the Presbyterian Church. In his seventeenth year he was brought into association with the Methodists, in 1818 was licensed to preach, and in 1819 was received on trial in the Balti- more Conference. In 1824 he went to Uniontown, Pa., which was soon after included in the Pittsburgh Confer- ence, and he became one of its members. From 1819 till his death he was an earnest and effective minister, eighteen years serving as presiding elder. He died in Brownsville, Pa., May 4, 1861. He was of a genial spirit, interesting as a preacher, wise as a counsi llor. — Minutes of Annual Conf. 1862, p. 44.
Sanson, Jacques, a French ecclesiastical writer, was born at Abbeville, Feb. 10, 1596. He took orders as a Carmelite in 1619, under the name of I r/r/< ice- Jo- seph de Jesus-Marie. He was prior of the monastery at Paris, and afterwards had charge of the novices at Charenton and at Toulouse. Whi'le in the latter city he became confessor to the duchess of Savoy, and held the position until her death, in 1663. Returning to France, he assisted in founding two monasteries — one at Abbeville, the other at Amiens. He died at Charen- ton, Aug. 19, 1665. His writings are of very little ac- count except those which give some history of the prov- ince of Ponthieu. These are, llistoire Geuealofjique des Comtes de Ponthieu et des M aires d'A Ibeville, and llis- toire Ecclesiastique de la Ville d\i bbeville. — Hoefer, Nouv. Bioe;. Generale, s. v.
