Hi, Josh. A really fine list here. Thank you for doing this. I realize this is a work in progress. As you go forward, be sure to include one or more articles published by Lynn McMillon in the Restoration Quarterly. During the 1980s, I believe, McMillon discovered one or more still-surviving Sandemanian churches in Great Britain and wrote about them.

Josh: Below are some sources I have gathered through the years on the Glas.Sandeman & Haldane. I could not get to the Haldane bib. some of these you may already know about.
