The Ministers of Cumnock from 1560. When your Scottish clergy give up their homely manner, religion will soon decay in that country.--Johnson to Botwdl. The Reformation was an accomplished fact in Cumnock, as in the rest of Scotland, by the year 1560. The Protestant Church at once took the place of the old Romish Church. The priest attached himself to the Reformed faith and became the first Protestant minister of the parish. His name was (1.) John Dunbar. In all probability he was a connection of those Dunbars who held the office of baron and acted as patrons of the church for more than three centuries. By a strange omission Scott, in his elaborate Fasti, makes no mention of him as our first Protestant pastor, but there can be little doubt from the existing evidence, that John Dunbar was the last incumbent of Cumnock before the Reformation, and that he adhered to the cause of Knox and the Protestant party. The facts on which this conclusion rests are quite convincing. "About the year 1562," we are told in a ms. Rental Book quoted by Chalmers in his Caledonia (Vol. iii., p. 522), "Mr. John Dunbar, parson of Cumnock, made a return to the reformed rulers, that the parsonage and vicarage of Cumnock, which was held by him, was by common estimation worth 500 marks yearly, but that the whole was let on lease by him to Patrick Dunbar, fiar of Cumnock, for the payment of i?40 yearly, which was less than an eighth part of the real value, and even of this small rent he could get no payment, for the two half-years past then remained unpaid. This official return he subscribed thus--Mr. John Dunbar, parson of Cumnock, with small profit." From this statement one thing is perfectly clear. John Dunbar had a year's rent due to him by the time...

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of Sanquhar The feeling has frequently been expressed of late years that a history of Sanquhar would prove of no ordinary interest, considering the ancient origin of the town, its standing as one of the old Scottish burghs, its intimate connection through its old Castle and the doughty Crichtons, who ruled there with the most stirring period of our national history, and, at a later period, with the struggles of the Covenanters, and likewise, the antiquarian and topographical features of the district of which it is the centre. It is true that a small history of the place was published in 1865 by the late Rev. Dr Simpson, but it was defective in various respects, particularly in that no attempt was made to treat of municipal affairs, or of social manners and customs. I waited, however, in the hope that the duty would be under taken by some one more experienced in literary work, but there being no appearance of that, and as much valuable information to be derived from oral sources was in danger of being lost, I felt constrained to assume the task.

I waited, however, in the hope that the duty would be undertaken by some one more experienced in literary work, but there being no appearance of that, and as much valuable information to be derived from oral sources was in danger of being lost, I felt constrained to assume the task. The first difficulty that presented itself was the plan of the book, having to deal as I had with a great mass of heterogeneous materials. No one plan was free from objections, and the present was adopted as involving the least confusion. Another difficulty was the extraordinary fatality that seems to have attached to the ancient records of the town and parish. The Minutes of the Town Council for the first 120 years have all disappeared, and those of the Kirk-Session and other public bodies are likewise defective; in this way, much information that would have been invaluable in the compilation of such a history, has been altogether lost.
