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. |
