Bryan Mackey (1770–1847) was an English Anglican vicar who was the first black Church of England clergyman.[1]
Mackey was born in 1770 to William Mackey – an English Gentleman – and an unnamed woman from Jamaica.[2] In 1780, by an act of the Jamaican Assembly, Mackey was granted exemption from inheritance restrictions normally placed on those of African or part-African descent.[3]
He studied at Brasenose College, Oxford, was ordained as deacon in 1793 and was appointed curate at Wootton Rivers, Wiltshire the same year.[1] He was ordained as a priest in 1794. Mackey became rector of Coates, Gloucestershire in 1799. He conducted a wedding in Milton Lilbourne in 1806, and his three children were baptised there, suggesting he held curateship at that parish.[4]
He was appointed curate of Sapperton, Gloucestershire in 1813.[1]
Mackey died aged 77 in 1847 in Southampton.
