  • Notes 
    • David entered the Church and became minister of Latheron about 1630. He was deposed in 1649 for subscribing Montrose's "articles."

      On 21 Oct 1652 he petitioned the Synod to recommend him to some parish in the diocese of Caithness, which they seem to have done, as he was the minister of the parish of Lairg before 7 May 1663. He died before 7 Oct 1668.

      Ref. (2) erroneously calls him John.
