In 1654 he was app. by the English Privy Council on the committee for authorising admissions to the ministry in the province of Glasgow and Ayr ; deprived on the establishment of Episcopacy in 1661, and ordered to quit the kingdom 6th Jan. 1662. It was proposed to send him to Holland, but Sir Robert Cunningham, the king s
physician, intervened, saying “that they might as well execute him on the scaffold as send him to the sea, for he could not be twenty-four or forty-eight hours upon the sea but it would be his death, for by his extraordinary study and labour in Paisley he had brought his strong body so low that he could not live upon the sea for a very short time.” He appears to have retired to Culross. After the hopes of the Cove nanters had been disappointed at Rullion Green, he died, it is said, of a broken heart, at Bo’ness, 13th March 1667. He marr. (1) 1646, Jean Mure, who died July 1647 : (2) Elizabeth, daugh. of William Mure of Glanderston. The latter having attended a conventicle in a private house, was imprisoned by order of the Privy Council 6th Nov. 1676, until she found caution to remove from Edinburgh and six miles around it.
He had issue William, Principal of Glasgow Univ. (q.v.\ born 1654, died March 1700; James, merchant, Rotterdam; Margaret (marr. James Stirling, min. of Kilbarchan). Among his descendants were Alexander Murray Dunlop of Corsock, M.P., and Robert Herbert Story, D.D. Principal of the Univ. of Glasgow.-
