Chalmers, John (2)
a Scotch clergyman, subprincipal of King’s College, Aberdeen, was appointed first to the living at Dyce, but was refused; then to the living of second charge, Old Machar, in 1601, which he held in conjunction. Objection was taken to his holding the two offices, as his charge was neglected, and he was transferred to Keith in June, 1610. In a fit of melancholy he attempted suicide, but survived a week, and died June 11, 1611, after full confession and repentance. See Fasti Eccles. Scoticanae, 3, 205, 207, 486, 500.
