Moy Free Church
History— Thomas MacLauchlan, minister of the parish, "came out" in 1843. On the first Sabbath after the Disruption Assembly the people met in a wood and "every man of any consequence in the parish" was present. After the removal of the minister in 1844, the minister of Daviot preached occasionally in Moy. This arrangement continued, except during short periods when the Highland Committee provided a probationer, until a minister was settled in 1862. Membership: 1859, 600; 1900, about 300.
