In honor of St. Patrick’s Day I have decided to post (with permission from Fred McCord and Jim Currey) the dismissal letter for Samuel and Jane Currey from the Third Presbyterian Church of Rosemary Street, Belfast, Ireland. The church had been established about 1722. Unfortunately, it was destroyed in 1941 during the Belfast Blitz and the Masonic Hall sits on the site today.
I hereby certify that the bearer hereof Samuel Currey and his wife Jane have been Members of the Third Congregation in Belfast from its Erection to the date of November 1727 & have behaved themselves Soberly and Christianly, free from all publick scandal known to us and were admitted to all Church privileges as occasion offer’d so that we have the great freedom to recommend them to the Good acceptance of any Christian Society where Divine Providence may order their Lott. Subscribed in the absence of our Minister at Belfast this the 6th day of June 1729. Robert Blair Sessions Clerk
