Kirk Sessions, Isle of Coll - 4

Notes:
Many of the minutes begin on one page and end on the next. The minutes vary in length and detail.
The Laird of Coll at this time, unnamed in the minutes, was Hector Maclean.
"Mr. Hector McLean," the meeting moderator here and in previous minutes, was the assistant parish minister for (and residing in) Coll, a distant relative of the same-named Laird. Mr. William Morisson who moderated a few sessions was the Coll and Tiree parish minister living on Tiree.
