Rev. Samuel Veazie graduated Harvard College in 1736 and was ordained the minister of the church in Duxbury, Oct 31, 1739. Following controversy with his flock, he removed to Hull, MA, in 1753 and preached there, also, where he died. Geneal Mem (Vinton) has his death date as 1797.

He was a passionate, though imprudent, preacher and ran into many difficulties with congregations during his ministry. On several occasions, he informed his congregation that they were "damned to Hell" for their sins. In those days, ministers could not be dismissed by their congregation but could be starved. The church committee at Duxbury at one point voted him an annual salary of one pound. He remained there yet several years before leaving.
