Biography edit

The son of a Scottish Minister, he was born in 1656 in Blandford in Dorset, England. He became a Fellow of Wadham College, Oxford, graduating with a Master of Arts in 1678, a Bachelor of Divinity and Doctor of Divinity in 1693. In 1686 he was appointed rector of St Mary Magdalene Woolwich in Kent (now London).[1]

He came to Ireland as chaplain to Henry Capell, 1st Baron Capell of Tewkesbury, the Lord Deputy of Ireland. Soon afterwards he was appointed Dean of St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, by letters patent on 6 February 1694, and installed in the cathedral the next day. Two years later, he was nominated Bishop of Killaloe on 12 February 1696 and consecrated at St. Patrick's Cathedral, Dublin, on 22 March 1696 by Archbishop Narcissus Marsh of Dublin, assisted by Bishop William Moreton of Kildare, and Bishop Nathaniel Foy of Waterford and Lismore. He was translated to the bishopric of Raphoe on 6 June 1713, and a few months later he was promoted to the archbishopric of Armagh on 4 January 1714. He died in Dublin on 13 July 1724,[1] and was buried in Christ Church Cathedral, Dublin.
