Research Notes:
was taken to Kentucky by his parents in 1795. He studied at the Transylvania
University at Lexington, KY, and was graduated at the Princeton Theological
Seminary in 1810. He was licensed by the New Brunswick Presbytery, and became
pastor of the Presbyterian church at Flemingburg, KY, in 1817. Later he was
pastor at Maysville, KY, and from 1827 to 1833 at Frankford, KY. In the
latter year he accepted a call from Nashville, TN, where the rest of his life
was spent. He was accounted one of the finest orators of his day, and was
distinguished for intellectual powers that were remarkable for their admirable
balance. When he died the mayor issued a proclamation requesting a general
suspension of business, and the Chancery Court, then in session, adjourned.
