Morton, his wife and their daughter arrived in Trinidad the United Presbyterian Church in Scotland was established a lere in Princes Town since the 1830s. But this small mission was about to collapse, the American church agreed to hand over the mission to the Canadians. Later Rev. Kenneth J. Grant opened a new mission in San Fernando in 1870, In 1871 the first primary school was opened. In 1872 the Susamachar church - which is today the biggest Presbyterian congregation - opened its facility in. In 1874 work commenced in Couva.

Wilson, a Scottish minister, established the Marabella Presbyterian Church which later become Wilson Memorial Presbyterian Church.
