Biography

From Ellen Douglas Larned (1825–1912), History of Windham County, Connecticut. (Worcester, Mass.: Published by the author, 1874), 300:

At a town meeting in 1728... John Wylie on his arrival, presented the following certificate: “That John Wylie and his wife Agnes Park, and their children Elizabeth, John, Jean, Peter and James, during their residence in this Presbyterian congregation of Cullybaky [sic], in the parish of Ahoghill and county of Antrim, which was from their infancy, are free of any scandal or church censure known to us preceding the date hereof is certified at Cullybaky, April 23, 1728. This by appointment, we having no minister:—[signed] John Wylie, Sen. Gain Stowell. Matthew Clark.”

Cullybackey is a Townland and/or Village within in the Civil Parish of Craigs; Craigs is adjacent to the Civil Parish of Ahoghill and both parishes border the population center of Ballymena.

No evidence has been found to support the identification of John Wylie's parents or birthplace, as indicated when this record was originally imported.
