General Notes: Husband - Rev. Robert Annan

---

He was graduated at the University of St. Andrew, and was licensed by the Associate Presbytery of Perth in 1761. He came to New York with John Mason and John Smart the next summer, and at once connected himself with the Associate Presbytery of Pennsylvania. In October, 1762, he received a call from Marsh Creek and Conewago, in what is now Adams County, Pennsylvania, and was ordained and installed there, June 8, 1763. He removed to Orange County, New York, in 1768, and became pastor of the Federal street church, in Boston, in 1783. In 1786, he took charge of the Old Scots' Church, Philadelphia, where he remained until 1802. He was pastor of the Associate Reformed congregation, in Baltimore, Maryland, 1802-12, and then retired to his farm, near Andrews' Bridge, on the Octorara, in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania. He was a prolific writer. In 1790, he had a long newspaper controversy with Dr. Rush, of Philadelphia, on capital punishment.
