2 - HISTORY OF FIFE.
The [Collessie] parish church is situated at the village of Collessie, but from its being so near the northern boundary of the parish is rather inconveniently placed for those residing to the south. It is old, and of an inconvenient form, being long and narrow, with the pulpit in the middle, and galleries at each end. Some of the old seats are dated so far back as the fifteenth century. The floor is several feet below the level of the surrounding ground, which renders it cold and damp ; and it is much too small for the amount of the population.* The manse is large and comfortable, and the offices are good.
The stipend is fifteen chalders of grain, half meal, half barley, a small sum for vicarage and grass money, and the usual allowance for communion elements. The glebe is of the legal size, and the lands of good quality. The present incumbent is the Rev. John Macfarlane. William Johnston, Esq. of Lathrisk is patron. The church is well attended, and there are 135 male heads of families on the parochial roll. The communicants are about 330.

4 - Can you look for Rev John's birth date? His family says his family was from Arrochar, by which I guess that John's father was probably born in Arrochar.
[ E-mail from Donald Macfarlane rec: 16 Sept. 2010 ]
Given the new information I did another IGI search and came up with the only two John s/o John born in Scotland in 1798 showing in IGI. Selecting his parents are complicated by the fact that both mother are Catherine/Katherine.
