DICKSON, JOHN (1629 - 1700), Minister of Rutherglen. Nothing is known regarding his parentage and early life; but he is said to have been related to the illustrious Reverend David Dickson, minister of Irvine. Glasgow University was, in all probability, his Alma mater. Our subject, after taking licence, was inducted to the charge of Rutherglen in 1656. There he laboured with great acceptance, amongst his parishioners, until 1660.

But, he notwithstanding, eluded the vigilance of the persecutor for a considerable number of years. Dickson ultimately fell into the hands of the enemy. After the disaster at Bothwell Brig it appears that he desisted from field preaching On the back of that sad event he was apprehended and brought a prisoner to Edinburgh, from which he was sent to the Bass where he was kept in “durance vile" for a period of six years.
