Rev John Smith (1722-1780) Dunfermline
« on: Saturday 08 August 09 07:49 UTC (UK) »
Does anyone know the actual burial place of the Rev. John Smith (b. 1722, d. 1780), Minister of the United Free Church, Queen Anne Street, Dunfermline?

I believe that his predecessor in the church, Ralph Erskine, is buried in Dunfermline abbey churchyard, and that John Smith is commemorated on Erskine’s monument, but I can’t seem  to locate Smith’s gravesite.

Many thanks in advance.
