PROTESTANT DISSENTERS (as PRESBYTERIANS were disparagingly termed) were barred from holding public office because of their beliefs. Presbyterian congregations across Ireland petitioned the parliament in Dublin for repeal of the Test Act which required all office holders, i.e. magistrates, burgesses etc. to be communicant members of the Established Church. Clearly, not all members of the congregations signed and may have been beholden to a landlord belonging to the Established Church. Some petitions contain the names of members of the Established Church.
Names were recorded by Parish or Congregation. Very few such petitions have survived; in Co. Tyrone and only those referred to below remain and are available for consultation at PRONI, Belfast:
Benburb town and neighbourhood;
Coagh;
Cookstown congregation;
Dungannon barony;
Dungannon town and neighbourhood;
Strabane town and neighbourhood.
