On July 24, 1650, the presbytery recorded proceedings concerning Jonnet Galbraith, a resident of Greenock in the county of Renfrew. During this period of intense religious and social anxiety in Scotland, the administrative machinery of the local church played a pivotal role in identifying those suspected of diabolical pacts. The documentation from that day indicates that the presbytery had formally arranged for a group of individuals accused of witchcraft to face trial, with Jonnet being among those identified for this judicial process.
The surviving records state that these trials were scheduled to convene on the following Monday in the town of Renfrew. While the primary source confirms her residence and her inclusion in these proceedings, the archival entry remains silent regarding the specific evidence brought against her or the eventual verdict of the court. Consequently, while the historical record situates Jonnet within the broader seventeenth-century effort to root out suspected witchcraft, the final outcome of her appearance before the judges in Renfrew does not appear in the extant documentation.
