Elisha Mulford was born on November 19, 1833, in Montrose, Pennsylvania, the son of Silvanus Sandford Mulford and Fanny Jessup.
Mulford prepared for college in the academy at Homer, New York, and entered the sophomore class at Yale, from which institution he graduated in 1855.
Deciding to enter the ministry, he studied at Union Seminary, New York City, and at Andover Seminary, Andover, Massachusetts. Later, he traveled abroad, studying at Berlin, Heidelberg, and Halle.
Mulford then became a clergyman in the Episcopal Church, being ordained deacon by Bishop Williams at Middletown, Connecticut, April 20, 1861, and priest, by Bishop Odenheimer, at South Orange, New Jersey, March 19, 1862.
After serving as rector in South Orange, he retired from the active ministry in 1864 (because of deafness) and moved to Lakeside, Pennsylvania, where he devoted himself to study and writing.
In 1870 he published The Nation, and ten years later, The Republic of God (1880). Removing to Cambridge, Massachusetts, in 1880, he became a lecturer in theology and apologetics in the Episcopal Theological School (1881 to 1885). He died on December 9, 1885, at Cambridge and was buried in Sleepy Hollow Cemetery, Concord, Massachusetts.
