Austin, who was born in Ohio County in 1820, and baptized by the Rev. Alfred Taylor, one of Kentucky’s earliest ministers. Bishop Austin was educated in the common schools, and later acquired a vast fund of information by close study and application, and at the age of twenty-two entered the ministry of the Baptist Church, and although his labors were mostly in Ohio, Muhlenburgh, Warren and Daviess and Butler Counties, he established a reputation throughout the entire State, and was for many years superintendent of the Association of Ministers.
