Overview
Thomas Knox (1588–1628) was a Scottish prelate from the 17th century who served as Bishop of the Isles.
Life
He was born in 1588 the son of Andrew Knox, Bishop of the Isles, and Elizabeth ("Bessie") Knox, his cousin. He was educated at Glasgow University graduating MA in 1608.
He received crown provision to the Deanery of the Isles on 4 August 1617 and started serving as a minister on Tiree in 1618. He is the first Dean of the Isles to be known by name (apart from the famous Dean Monro, a century earlier), though an unnamed cathedral dean was recorded in 1572, and the "dean and chapter of Iona" are attested again on 5 June 1576.
