James Grierson (minister, born 1662)

James Grierson (1662–1732) was a Scottish minister of the Church of Scotland who served as Moderator of the General Assembly in 1719.

In 1709 he was "called" by the Presbytery of Edinburgh to be "second charge" of the highly influential and prestigious Trinity College Church.

This peculiarity was partially redressed in 1739 when Bannatine in turn was elected Moderator.

[1] Grierson died of palsy, following a long period of illness, on 5 July 1732.

He married the daughter of Rev Matthew Selkrig (1643-1729), minister of Crichton, Midlothian.
