DOYLE - Doyle, Garrison, Lock, Meredith, Chaudoin, Slemmons 11493 A HISTORY OF KENTUCKY BAPTISTS from 1769 to 1885 by J. H. Spencer, Vol. II, 1886. RICHARD G. DOYLE was born in North Carolina, Sept. 4, 1794. He was brought by his parents, to Kentucky, when he was about ten years of age, and grew to manhood, in what is now Edmonson County. He was married to Sally Garrison, April 3, 1817. His parents were Cumberland Presbyterians, and educated him with the hope that he would be a minister of their church; but, on his making a profession of religion, under the ministry of Jacob Lock, he united with the Baptist church at Mt. Tabor in Barren County. He taught school a few sessions, and afterwards served his county as justice of the peace. In 1838, he was licensed to preach, at Cedar Spring church in Edmonson county, where also he was ordained to the ministry. In June, 1839, by Frederick Meredith and John M. Chaudoin. When the split occurred in Green River Association, Cedar Spring church adhered to the Antimissionaries. Mr. Doyle attempted to obtain a letter of dismission, but was refused, on the charge of having fraternized with the Missionary preachers and allowed them to preach in his house. However, he finally succeeded in procuring a letter, with which he entered into the constitution of Little Hope church, which joined Liberty Association, in 1842. Of this church, he was pastor the remainder of his life on earth. He was also pastor of New Hope, Little Jordan and Cane Spring churches, at the time of his death, which occurred in 1864. His last labor was the preaching of a sermon at the funeral of a Mrs. Slemmons. He closed his discourse and turned to sit down, when he suddenly dropped on the floor, and was immediately taken up a corpse. Mr. Doyle was a good, plain, zealous preacher, and his labors were much blessed. He was twice married, and raised eight daughters and five sons, all of whom became Baptists.

THOMAS – Thomas, Pendleton 11486 A HISTORY OF KENTUCKY BAPTISTS from 1769 to 1885 by J. H. Spencer, Vol. II, 1886. ROBERT W. THOMAS was one of the most attractive and eloquent preachers that have lived in the Green River country. He was raised up to the ministry, and spent about twenty years among the churches of Liberty, and the surrounding associations. Liberty Hill church, in Edmonson county, licensed him to preach, about 1840, and ordained him to the ministry, two years later. In 1850, he succeeded J. M. PENDLETON in the moderatorship of Liberty Association, and fill that position five successive years. A number of churches had his pastoral labors, but he did not succeed so well in the pastoral office, as in some other branches of ministerial labor. He was a successful financial agent, and a shrewd and ready debater; but his great oratorical powers were most effective in the work of an evangelist, in which he labored abundantly, especially in the early years of his ministry. In later years, his influence was much curtailed by his irresistible inclination to take an active part in every popular contest of the time. He was among the first ministers, in his part of the State who mounted the rostrum in favor of temperance reform. His eloquence bore down all opposition, for the time; but the bitterness of his denunciation, and the keenness of his satire and sarcasm often inflamed the opposition, and thereby injured the cause he advocated. He did not hesitate to take the stump, during an exciting political campaign, and to denounce the party he opposed unsparingly. He was not unfrequently engaged in financial speculations of considerable magnitude, which he prosecuted with the same intensity, that he did whatever else he was engaged in. During the civil War, he moved to Arkansas, and, afterwards, to Texas, where he was still living, when last heard from.

Daviess Co. MARTIN CROW. This gentleman, a native of Davis [sic] county, Kentucky, was born July 14, 1820. He is the son of James and Rhoda (Stemmons) Crow, both of whom were born in Mercer (now Boyle) county, Kentucky, and not far from the town of Danville. James Crow was born July 1, 1788, and Rhoda Stemmons March 25, 1792; they were married October 25, 1810. Their union was blessed with five children, three daughters and two sons; viz., Nancy, Harriet, Sarah, Jacob, and Martin, the subject of this sketch. James Crow died August 31, 1822, in Davis [sic] county, Kentucky, and in 1827 his widow, in company with her brother-in-law, Walter Crow, came to Pike county, making the entire trip from Kentucky here on horseback, to look at these wild western lands, and to determine whether or not she thought it best to move her family to Missouri. They finally determined to settle in Pike county, and here she lived happily with her children until 1881, when she quietly passed away. Martin Crow, our subject, was reared upon the farm upon which he now resides, and early imbibed those industrious habits which have been of incalculable advantage to him in subsequent life. His education was limited; but what he lack in the knowledge of books, was amply made up for by his acquaintance with the business ways of the world, and the knowledge he possessed of men and things. In the spring of 1850 he made an overland trip to California in company with his uncle, Walter Crow, taking out a drove of cattle intended for that far western market. He came home in 1852, returning by way of New Orleans, and entered with new zest upon the duties of a farmer. Mr. Crow was married October 18, 1855, to Miss Louisa Hendrick, daughter of the late Moses Hendrick of Bowling Green. Seven children have blessed this union; viz., Emma D., Henry C., Edward E., July S., Sally M., Ora B., and Lowell E. Crow, all of whom are living. Mr. Crow has a magnificent farm of 733 acres of land, which is in a high state of cultivation, with excellent improvements, and which is made by good management and judicious conservation to yield large returns for the labor bestowed upon it. Mr. Crow was a good manager, and an enterprising citizen, and is justly classed among the solid and substantial men of the county.

KISSINGER – Kissinger, Pritchett, Major, Mackey, Stewart, McDoel 11477 Pike County Missouri History, Des Moines, Iowa, Mills and Company, 1883, p. 613-4. Lincoln Co KY. James H. Kissinger. Mr. Kissinger is a native of Pike county; he was born in Calumet township, and on the farm upon which he at this time resides, on the 29th day of March, 1840. He is the son of Hendley and Catherine B. Kissinger, both of whom were natives of Lincoln county, Kentucky, and came to Missouri in the fall of 1830. His father was born June 15, 1795, and died February 1, 1874. He was a man of great physical strength and powers of endurance, and also was possessed of such mental rigor and remarkable judgment. Through his energy and foresight much of the large fortune which his children now enjoy was accumulated. The mother of James H. was born December 13, 1798, and died May 10, 1871. She was a woman of splendid qualities of both mind and heart, and by her energy and prudent suggestions contributed no little to the success of her husband. The subject of our sketch was reared upon the farm and has, since manhood, devoted much of his attention to agricultural pursuits, though he is much better known, both at home and broad, as a breeder of Short-horns and other kinds of superior stock, than as a farmer. Indeed, so extensively has he been engaged in breeding and dealing in thoroughbreds, and so successfully has he conducted the business, that for years he has been everywhere as one of the Short-Horn kings of the west. Within a limit of twelve years, from 1867 to 1779, the herds of J. H. Kissinger, J. H. Kissinger & Co, and Pritchett & Kissinger, snatched from the best stock of the Union premiums to the amount of more than forty thousand dollars. Besides being a breeder of fine stock, Mr. Kissinger has also been an importer, having at different times brought over from Europe a considerable number of Short-Horns of fancy colors and the fines strains. He has also imported horses, sheep and hogs; and the Clydesdales bred from his stables are still to be found in the township and the county. While he continues to breed and sell the Shropshire, South-Down, and Cotswold sheep, and hogs of pure blood and enormous size, made them desirable to the best breeders of the early home of the Short-Horn or the Durham. Mr. Kissinger resides about five miles southeast of Clarksville, upon one of the most sightly and valuable farms in the county. He has about five hundred and fifty acres of his farm nicely set in blue-grass, whose rich and luxuriant growth contributes alike to the value and beauty of the place. Upon the eastern border of the farm is a depot on the St. Louis, Keokuk & Northwestern Railroad, built by himself and called after him, Kissinger, from which both his stock and produce are shipped, and where great quantities of the daintiest food for his splendid stock is received. His house, a palatial residence, stands near the center of the farm upon a beautiful residence, from which most of the rich and undulating lands of Lindwood, the name of his farm, can be seen. Mr. Kissinger owns a one-fourth interest in the large manufacturing establishment in Clarksville, known as the Major & Mackey Tobacco Company, and a little interest in the livery stable of the same town. He was married to Miss Bettie Stewart, the daughter of General David Stewart of Lincoln county, on November 6, 1859. They have four children, all daughters, viz., Mrs. Nannie M. McDoel, Mattie C., Nellie S., Rossie E. Kissinger. To the thorough and careful education of these, both Mr. and Mrs. Kissinger have devoted much care and attention. Mr. Kissinger has been a consistent member of the Christian Church since 1850, having been received into its communion when he was but a little more than ten years of age. His wife and some of his children are also members of the same religious organization. This gentleman has done much for Pike county, and her citizens very cheerfully acknowledge and very highly appreciate his services. Should his life be spared and his health continue as vigorous as now, other valuable contributions to the material wealth and prosperity of the county may be safely contemplated as the result of his energy and enterprise. Not to mention Mr. and Mrs. Kissinger’s hospitality would be to omit one of the distinguishing virtues of their happy home. They delight to have their friends with them, whom they treat right royally, while even the tramp or the beggar is not turned away empty handed from the doors of Linwood.

WILLIAM CROSS – Cross, Nuckols 11474 A HISTORY OF KENTUCKY BAPTISTS from 1769 to 1885 by J. H. Spencer, Vol. II, 1886. Bethlehem Association of Regular Baptists. Clinton Co. WILLIAM CROSS was the most prominent preacher in this fraternity, and, before he was led off by Andrew Nuckols, was a zealous and useful minister of Christ. He was a native of East Tennessee, it is believed, and was born September 7, 1786. At about the age of eighteen years, he moved with his widowed mother to what is now Clinton county, Ky. During the British War of 1812 to ’15, he served as a soldier, for which he drew a pension in the latter years of his life. During a revival which prevailed in his neighborhood, in 1820, he professed conversion and united with Clear Fork church in Clinton county. In July, 1821, just a year after his baptism, he was licensed to preach, and was ordained to the ministry, in June, 1824. He was called to the care of Clear Fork church, and afterwards, to that of Seventy-Six and Long Bottom. In these charges, he was comfortable and useful, till he had the misfortune to fall in with Andrew Nuckols, from whom he imbibed Parker’s Two-Seeds doctrine, and a strong aversion to missions. After this, he succeeded in leading off factions from at least two of the churches to which he ministered. Of these, and other similar factions, he organized the little fraternity whose history has just been given. After the dissolution of this body, he had little scope for preaching, and the latter part of his ministry was unfruitful. But, however erratic his faith, he was highly esteemed for his simple piety, his amiability, and his upright life. He died at his home, one mile north of Albany, in October, 1876,.
