an elder of the Wood Street congregation, Dublin, in 1750 founded the "Widow's Fund." From Reid's History of the Presbyterian Church in Ireland we learn that he received a collegiate education, after which he engaged in business. Nine or ten years before his death, after having travelled somewhat in pursuit of intellectual improvement, he settled permanently in Dublin, "and distinguished himself as a most useful and public spirited citizen." In 1755 he died, in the fifty-fourth year of his age.
