When I visited this Church in 2004, I was told it was a "mother Church". First can someone tell me when it was established. I have the 1640's running around my head. Secondly, from what Church was it founded from in Scotland? Thirdly, what does the term "mother church" mean? Was it the "first" church established in the area that then esblished other churches around it? Given that there was the Irish uprising in 1641 and the plantation of occurred with many Scots in 1609, why would the Presbyterian Church not be established at a much earlier period?
