"The Baptist Enclyclopaedia:" Kalloch, Rev. Amariah
He was one of the foremost ministers in his native State from 1830 to 1849, when he sailed for California. There having contracted a fever, and unwilling to remain quiet until fully restored, he set out upon a mission from Sacramento to Placerville, where he died. He belonged to a family of preachers well known in New England. He had great natural talents, and was distinguished for his piety, enthusiam, and marked success in revival preaching and pastoral work. In 1832 he was ordained at Thomaston (Maine), where he organized a church at a small hamlet four miles distant, at Rockland. The church increased 400 members under his oversight. In 1847 he was settled at Augusta, from which he removed to California. He was universally beloved. Many hundreds were baptized as the fruit of his labors.
