Provenance: Bt. 1986

Revd James Paterson emigrated from Auchtergaven, Scotland in 1834 and after working in Montego Bay for a few months preached his first sermon at Broughton Place, Jamaica in 1835. The church was completed in 1842, the same year that Paterson was killed when he was thrown from his horse. Revd Paterson was succeeded by Revd Andrew Gordon Hogg, ordained in Broughton Place, Edinburgh in 1844. Revd Hogg was minister from 1845 until his retirement in 1882
