Adoniram Judson was not the first American Missionary.Christianity Today and other Christian resources clearly document that the 1st foreign missionaries from American were ex-slaves.
1782 - George Liele, a former pastor & ex-slave, of First African Baptist Church Savannah, Georgia, with four other former American slaves,formed the First African Baptist Church of Kingston. In ten years the church grew to over 500 members. George Liele is considered to be the first American missionary.
1782 - David George, of the Silver Bluff, South Carolina Baptist Church was the first black Baptist church in America. David traveled to Nova Scotia (Canada) and ministered to blacks in exile there.
1782 - Brother Amos, a member of the Savannah, Georgia church sailed for the Bahamas and planted a church in New Providence that grew to 850 members by 1812.
1783 - Moses Baker and George Gibbons, are both former slaves, who left America to become missionaries in the West Indies.
1790 - Prince Williams, a freed slave from South Carolina, went to Nassau, Bahamas where he started the Bethel Meeting House.
1792 - David George, also traveled with 12,000 black settlers to Sierra Leone, West Africa.
1801 - Prince Williams and other blacks organized the Society of Anabaptists. Subsequently, 164 Baptist churches were planted in the Bahamas.
Also, Fuller Seminary, now the largest seminary in the world, has recently found that the largest church growth in in the history of the church since the ascension of Christ was after the civil war. 40,000 African American Churches were planted in the U.S. in little over a generation.
Recognizing a missionary as anyone who, as a lifestyle or as a vocation, shares his or her faith to those outside the faith, the answer is pretty much impossible to answer, and would vary by religion. Within the context of the Christian church, the best answer would be Philip the Evangelist. He is described in Acts chapter 8 (starting in verse 4) as going out of the church in Jerusalem to share the gospel of Christ with the Samaritans (and later with an Ethiopian).
