Hello Tina,

Samuel Cavin is not recorded in the index to the extremely useful History of 
Congregations 1610-1982 published by the Presbyterian Historical Society in 
Ireland (1982), nor the Seceders in Ireland – Stewart (1950). Perhaps he was 
not ordained in Ireland? As Elwyn has suggested, the PHSI should be the first 
port of call in your search.

Regards,

Tina,

If Samuel served as a Minister in Ireland, the Presbyterian Church Historical 
Society in Belfast should have some brief details of his career and background:

It wasn’t possible for prospective Presbyterian Ministers to get a degree in 
theology in Ireland at that time, and so if he went to university, it’s likely 
to have been in Scotland (Glasgow, Edinburgh, St Andrew’s or Aberdeen). Those 
universities can sometimes confirm when someone matriculated and give you a 
little about their origins.


Elwyn

I am searching for records of my 6th Great Grandfather, Rev Samuel Cavin.   He 
was a Presbyterian minister who came to America in 1737.   He died 1750 and is 
buried in the churchyard of the church he ministered.   Silver Spring 
Presbyterian Church in Pennsylvania.
I am looking for his family in Ireland.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
