Description: A biography of James Taylor (1752-1835). Here is an excerpt from the biography, "Rev. John Taylor was a distinguished pioneer Baptist preacher and writer who was born in Faquier County, Va in 1752. He united with the Baptists in his twentieth year. He began to preach almost immediately after he joined the church and continued with great success. He located in Kentucky in 1785. The first religious revival in the state commenced under his preaching in Woodford County in 1785. In that year he helped establish Clear Creek Baptist Church and was pastor there about ten years. In 1794 he assisted the Great Crossing Baptist, Scott County, KY in the constitution of the Bullittsburg Baptist Church -the first church of any kind in northern Kentucky. In 1795 he moved to what would soon become Boone County and became the first preacher for Bullittsburg. He ministered there for seven years. During that time the church experienced revival in 1800-01 (in what is often called the "Second Great Awakening in America"); there were 113 people converted and baptized into the church."; Accessed online at Bcpl.org
