Also stated in the census relating to another parish:
Be it observed: The rebellious Insurrection called Hearts of Oak, took its rise in this Parish (Killeshill) nor is it to be wondered at, when the Dissenters here, shall be known to be, what they really are, the spawn of Scottish Covenanters, avowed enemies to all Civil and religious Establishments and the most violent and furious persecutors of the established clergy, during the late troubles in the North of Ireland.
