William Nevins

William Nevins (1797-1835) was born in Norwich, Connecticut. He attended Yale and then Princeton Theological Seminary. In 1820, he became an ordained minister and the pastor of the First Presbyterian Church in Baltimore, Maryland. In 1822, he married Mary Lloyd Key (1801–1834), cousin of Francis Scott Key, and had five children. Note: Since Philip Barton Key (Mary Lloyd’s father) was the brother of John Ross Key (1754-1821), this would make Mary Lloyd Key a cousin of Francis Scott Key.
