H. Spencer, Vol. II, 1886. Barren River Association. BENJAMIN BAILEY was a plain old preacher, who was probably pastor of no church. He was born in Sussex Co., Va., July 30, 1776. About the year 1800, he moved to Barren county, Ky. He professed religion and united with Mt. Pleasant church, in 1810. He was afterwards ordained to the ministry, and although his gifts were very humble, he was useful in preaching the word of the Lord to the poor. Many of the sons and daughters of the backwoods hunters, heard the gospel preached, for the first time, in the cabins of their parents, by “Old Daddy Bailey.” When Barren River Association split on the subject of missions, he adhered to the Anti-missionaries. He died of dropsy at his home in Allen county, in March, 1848.
