Carnone Church is located between Castlefinn and Convoy, Co. Donegal, and was a Secession Anti Burgher congregation organised in 1757 when the first minister, Mr. ROBERT LAW was ordained here. The next minister was Mr. WILLIAM DICKEY who was ordained at Carnone in 1795: he retired in 1836. He was followed by his son, Rev. JOHN PORTER DICKEY who returned home from the U.S. upon his father’s retirement. He had been educated at Western University, Pennsylvania and retired in 1884, after lengthy service at Carnone.

Rev. Alexander G. Lecky wrote of the congregation in The Laggan and its Presbyterianism (Belfast, 1905) “Carnone is a much smaller congregation now than what it was at one time, largely owing to the fact that in our fathers’ day, Seceders thought little of a long Sabbath day’s journey in order to attend the ministrations of the Church of their affections, often passing the doors of one or more Synod of Ulster houses on the way. Until recent years, several families living in Raphoe, and far beyond it, were members of Carnone. In the year 1846 there were 280 families connected with it.”

This area was known as the Laggan Valley and was subject to intensive Scottish settlement from the early years of the Plantation 1610-20. Two interesting and useful histories of Presbyterian congregations and the trials of the Scots settlers of the Laggan were published in the early twentieth century by the Rev. Alexander G. Lecky, minister of Ballylennon Presbyterian Church, Taughboyne parish; The Laggan and its Presbyterianism (1905) and In the Days of the Laggan Presbytery (1908) and are available as Ebooks http://www.cotyroneireland.com/estore/index.php?maincat_id=6
