Rev. John Couper (Jan Janszn) (Minus Oneth Generation) Minister in Edinburg. Fled to Friesland and preached in a Reformed congregation in Burgwerd, near Bolsward in Friesland in 1580. He died in 1620. He was a minister in Scotland and came to Burgwerd, Friesland in 1580 with his son and his children. A that time the Roman Catholic King of Scotland was James I, who later became king of England as well. Life may have been difficult for Reformed believers in Scotland, and it is well possible that Rev. John Couper fled to Friesland for that reason. He preached the "pure religion" to the new congregation of Burgwerd in 1580. Records show that he passed away in 1620. He had at least 1 son: John Couper or Jan Jansen Cuyper.
