a Baptist minister, was born in Georgia, March 23, 1790. He united with the Church in 1812, and soon began to preach. So neglected had been his education that when he commenced preaching he could scarcely read a hymn or text. In his personal appearance he had everything in his favor. He traveled extensively, not only in Tennessee, but in other parts of the country, having for his companion Rev. John Wiseman, a famous preacher of his times. He was instrumental in building up several churches in Middle Tennessee. In 1824 he moved to Hardeman County, Tenn., and devoted most of his time to ministerial work until his death, Dec. 4, 1828. See Borum, Sketches of Tennessee Ministers, p. 140-145. (J.C.S.)
