Mr Smyth

Probably James Smyth, surgeon: a member of the Episcopal congregation in Perth noted for his active role on the Jacobite side of the Risings of 1715 and 1745 (Farquhar, Episcopal History of Perth, pp. 155, 173). He was the son of William Smyth, Episcopal minister at Moneydie, and was father-in-law to Martin Lindsay (see Inglis, "Last Episcopal Minster at Moneydie"). Also see Prisoners of the '45, vol. 3, pp. 222-23.
