Notes |
- Gilbert Garden, the husband of Mary Douglass,
appears from Spalding's History of the Troubles of the period to have been obnoxious to constituted Church authorities, as Mr. John Ross, minister of Birse, had laid a complaint against him, his wife, children and servants, before the Presbytery, for " dishaunting " (or failing to attend) " his parish church, and holding his devotions in his own dwelling." The Presbytery, it appears, " were no ways contented " with his plea that the religion he professed was " the trew religion." They accordingly directed his minister to "process," and in case of disobedience to excommunicate him. Next year, in keeping with the spirit of the times, we hear that he " was taken on the calsie in Edinburgh and warded in the Tolbooth for maintaining some points of Brownism."
