The Rev Martin, the first Irish Reformed Presbyterian minister,
resettled hundreds of his congregation and others in South Carolina in 1772,
only to find themselves embroiled in the American Revolution.
Twice he carried the witness as the sole Covenanter minister,
once in Ireland and then in the United States.
