Fossoway Free Church
History— The minister of this parish was enrolled a member of the Free Church at the Disruption and in January 1844, was declared to be no longer a minister of the Free Church. The congregation was organized by the Presbytery of Kinross, and a church was erected. A fruitless attempt was made to unite with the congregation at Blairingone Parish and, when in 1844 the Fossoway congregation called the minister of Blairingone to serve them, the latter was reduced to a preaching station. Membership: 1848, 197; 1900, 151 Source: Annals of the Free Church of Scotland, 1843-1900, ed. Rev. William Ewing, D.D., 2 vols. pub. 1914. FHL Film #918572.
