About

The 1770’s saw Baptists make their way from Virginia to Kentucky.  Squire Boone, Daniel Boone’s brother, was one of the first Baptist preachers in Kentucky; and in many ways Kentucky history parallels Baptist history, for Baptists were some of the first pioneers.  Their work and influence spread rapidly, and by the mid 1940’s only three Kentucky county-seats did not have a Baptist church.  Those towns were Frenchburg, Stanton and Owingsville.
