Gilbert Tennent (1703-1764), an "Ulster Scot" born the same year as John Wesley, is usually remembered as a leader of revivals during the "Great Awakening" in the middle-colonies. John Witherspoon (1723-1794), a "champion of orthodoxy" from Edinburgh called to be the President of the College of New Jersey, is usually treated as a "founding father" of the Presbyterian Church in the United States. However, many events leading up to the first General Assembly in 1788 reflect the influence of Gilbert Tennet, the moderator of the newly re-united Synods of Philadelphia and New York in 1758
