HISTORY OF KENTUCKY BAPTISTS

A Series by Samuel H. Ford, from The Christian Respository, 1856-58


     Editor's note: This is an important piece of work. J. H. Spencer, William D. Nowlin and other Kentucky Baptist historians have used this work in their histories. The outline appears somewhat disorganized, but there is information in these essays difficult to locate. Mr. Ford used early churchbooks to describe many of the incidents. The documents are taken from microfilm copies at the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary Library, Louisville, KY.
