Hi Judy regarding your question regarding Presbyterianism. The following is my understanding of the matter The first one to take Presbyterianism to the USA I believe was in fact a Rev McKimbsey/McKimsley in the 1750s. He was from the town of Ramelton in Co Donegal. John weir was the first to bring it to Ireland. The religion I understand to have originated in of all places Geneva under a Rev Calvin although I have no date for that. Perhaps this may be of some use in helping you further you enquiry.
