Bryan Mackey

Bryan Mackey (1770–1847) was an English Anglican vicar and the first black Church of England clergyman.

[2] In 1780, by an act of the Jamaican Assembly, Mackey was granted exemption from inheritance restrictions normally placed on those of African or part-African descent.

[3] He studied at Brasenose College, Oxford, where he was ordained as deacon in 1793 and was appointed curate at Wootton Rivers, Wiltshire the same year.

He conducted a wedding in Milton Lilbourne in 1806, and his three children were baptised there, suggesting he held curateship at that parish.
