Jonathan Kennon Thompson Smith

(Page 34)

In an article published in the TENNESSEE BAPTIST, May 2, 1940 (page 5), from records then extant, it was established that the congregation now known as the FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH of Lexington was organized in January 1842 under the leadership of Elder ELISHA COLLINS, who was also one of its founding members and its pastor for the first decade of its existence. Among the other founders were J. BROWN, J. JAMES, SOPHIA COLLINS, ELIZABETH SHREWSBURY, MARY LEE and JULIA COLLINS.

The present writer was graciously given permission to copy the earliest extant membership lists of this congregation.
