Annand, William
, dean of Edinburgh in Scotland,
the son of William Annand, minister of Air, in Airshire,
was born in that town in 1633. Five years after, his father
was obliged to quit Scotland with his family, on account of
their loyalty to the king, and adherence to the episcopal
government established by law in that country. In 1651,
young Annand was admitted a scholar in University -college, Oxford; and though he was put under the care of a
Presbyterian tutor, yet he took all occasions to be present
at the sermons preached by the loyal divines in and near
Oxford. In 1656, being then bachelor of arts, he received holy orders from the hands of Dr. Thomas Fulwar,
bishop of Ardfert, or Kerry in Ireland; and was appointed
preacher at Weston on the Green, near Bicester, in Oxfordshire; where he met with great encouragement from
sir Francis Norris, lord of that manor. After he had taken
his degree of M. A. he was presented to the vicarage of
Leighton-Buzzard, in Bedfordshire; where he distinguished
himself by his edifying manner of preaching, till 1662, when
he went into Scotland, as chaplain to John earl of Middleton, the king’s high commissioner to the church of that
kingdom. In the latter end of 1663, he was instituted to
the Tolbooth church, at Edinburgh; and from thence was
removed some years after to the Trone church of that
city, which was likewise a prebend. In April 1676, he was
nominated by the king to the deanery of Edinburgh; and
in 1685 he commenced D. D. in the university of St. Andrews. He died June 13, 1689, and was honourably interred in the Grey-friars church at Edinburgh. As his
life was pious and devout, so his sickness and death afforded great consolation to those who attended him in his
last moments.
