The church was rebuilt in 1617, but no minister appears till it had, with Dungree, a minister appropriated by the Presb. of Dumfries in 1647. It was erected into a parish by the Presbytery in 1659, but the Commissioners of Teinds 22d Jan. 1662 found “that the Presbytery had proceeded most unwarrantably and illegally, and annulled the same, and declared the lands to be part of Kirkmichael."
