great grandfather, of this thrifty infant, who pre-

For long time the characters and names even of
these entirely unknown, and their only
memorials some remaining traces of their work

But by discardng mere legends and using apparently
reliable traditions guideposs point the way

archives, wills, deeds, and other court records,
seekers after the truth have found out abso

ministers who came to America, not from Scotland

whom labored in the Maryland colony many years
before Mackenzie and the men of the first American
Presbytery.
For the accomplishment of this result, 1 wish it
