Ballynahinch Presbyterian Church 1728-1734

An Account of what Collections & Disbursments hath been in this Congregation (1704-1734) since Mr. Hendry Livingston become our Minister (in Ballynahinch). Who was Ordained Tuesday Aprill 25th 1704, by the Presbytry of Down.

Transcribed by Julian Armstrong.

For ease of search and typing, almost all the names below are shown in full, whereas some are abbreviated in the original. JRA

I think the moor cloth mentioned is a burial shroud that was hired out to people. Raps are counterfeit coins .From Sep 1732 there are large amounts paid each week to various ministers (8s 1p) .This could be to pay their expenses as visiting preachers after the death of Rev . McAlpine on 27th October 1732 & the appointment of Rev. McClaine in 1735..RD
