a pioneer Presbyterian minister, was born in Ireland, September 21, 1710, but was educated in America. He was licensed by the Donegal Presbytery in 1738, sent to Deer Creek, Maryland, and in 1739 to Opequhon Irish Tract, and other places in western Virginia. In 1740 he was ordained pastor at Shenandoah and South River, resigned in 1754, and died April 21, 1774. He was a man mighty in the Scriptures, in perils often, in labors abundant. (W.P.S.)
