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.

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.

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.
