Thank you Len for your reply. Below is my source. Perhaps I misread Bandony for Badoney.
James Chrystie, A.M., trans. from Kirkcowan; discharged by the rabble in 1689. He went to Ireland, was adm. to Bandony, in the diocese of Derry, and died 13th May 1718, aged about 76. He marr. in 1696 Margaret Kincaid, who survived him. (MS. Acc. of Min. 1689, Test. Reg.) [Presbytery of Wigton. p. 736, no. 168. http://www.dwalker.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/Fasti%20V.2/p.%20342%20PREBBYTERY%20OF%20WIGTON%20p.%20736.htm ].
