Transcription

Bruce believes he is troubling Sloane with his letter. He discusses the residents of Killyleagh. James Bruce was the Minister of the Presbyterian General Synod of Ulster. He was ordained at Killyleagh around 1684/85 and was a tour de force within the Synod of Ulster, serving on several committees and influencing its other members (Alexander Gordon, Bruce, James (1660/611730), rev.
