David Stewart Wylie

David Stewart Wylie (1771–1856)[1][2] was a Scottish minister, from around 1800 leading a Baptist congregation in Liverpool.

He opposed the "swearing of the covenants", in the formulation used by Lawson, who favoured a more liberal approach to subscription.

[9] By 1798, Wylie had moved on within Paisley, with some of the congregation, to Stone Street Scotch Baptist Church.

[14] Jones gave an account in the terms that Wylie moved the Paisley Scotch Baptist church to Liverpool, increasing the original group.

He commented that James and Robert Haldane, influential on Wylie, had only a superficial understanding of the Baptist tradition.

[21] Entries in 1828 show David Stewart Wylie with an academy at 87 Duke Street, the Rev.

[23] Christ and Antichrist Displayed by Wylie impressed William Jones, before they began working together.

[27] It was in defence of the views on baptism of Henry Paice, a Particular Baptist at the Stanley Street Chapel, against an attack by John Stewart (died 1840) of the Scottish Secession Church, minister of the Gloucester Street and Mount Pleasant Chapels.

[28][29] His son David Wylie ran a well-known early school in South Australia.

[39] Another report, which gives his age as 53 (and address Knotty Ash), states he was lately a merchant of Church Street, Liverpool.

[43] In 1841 the brig Mary Scott, the property of Margaret Little, was wrecked and sank in the Irish Sea in a collision, off the Point Lynas Lighthouse.
