Robert Chessor

Assisted Robert Forbes with the publication of Letter from a Gentleman in London to his Friend at Bath. Forbes presided over Chessor's marriage in 1768 and baptised three of Chessor's children between 1743 and 1771. In the baptismal register, Forbes refers to Chessor as “one of the 'Hearers' of Mr Blair and Mr. Hunter in Edinburgh” (Registers of the Episcopal Congregation in Leith, 1733-1775, pp. 60, 28, 43, 45).
