William Summers

William Summers was a London tinman, Summers became a close friend and correspondent of Samuel Pearce in the 1780s, accompanying him in 1796 on his preaching tour of Ireland for the Evangelical Society. This was the last of many preaching tours that Pearce engaged in, often for the purpose of collecting money for the BMS. Summers was a steady supporter of the BMS, subscribing £1.1 in 1800-1801 and in 1804-1805. See Periodical Accounts, 2:207; 3:136; Universal British Directory, 1/2:303.
