The Reverend Abraham Bronson (April 11, 1778 - June 12, 1853) was an Episcopalian minister. He was born in Waterbury, Connecticut, moved as minister to Arlington, Vermont in 1802, where he officiated half-time from 1802-1825, and then full-time until 1833 when he left the diocese. He received his A.M. degree from Columbia University in 1809, served as a trustee of Middlebury College, from which he received an honorary degree in 1817, and is recorded as being a member of the American Temperance Society, from Manchester, Vermont, in 1832. At some time in the 1830s, he moved to Peninsula, Ohio, where he became the first minister for the Bronson Church, which was founded and built by his brother Hermon Bronson in 1839. He is buried in Cedar Grove Cemetery in Peninsulao.
