Judson, Adoniram

   Also found in: Encyclopedia 0.03 sec.

Judson, Adoniram (1788-1850)

US missionary. In 1812 he went to Burma as a Baptist missionary. He was imprisoned as a spy during the Anglo-Burmese War (1824-26). He translated the Bible into Burmese and claimed to have converted thousands to Christianity.

Born in Malden, Massachusetts, he graduated from Brown University in 1807, taught for a year, studied at Andover Theological Seminary, and was ordained in 1812. He was married three times, in each case to women who were also missionaries. He died a few days after leaving Burma on a voyage for his health.
