RICHARD G. DOYLE was born in North Carolina, Sep. 4, 1794.  He was 
brought by his parents, to Kentucky, when he was about ten years of age, 
and grew to manhood, in what is now Edmonson County.  His parents were 
Cumberland Presbyterians, and educated him, with the hope that he would 
be a minister of their church; but, on making a profession of religion, 
under the ministry of Jacob Lock, he united with the Baptist Church at 
Mt. Tabor in Barren County.  He taught school a few sessions, and 
afterwards served his county as justice of the peace.  In 1838, he was 
licensed to preach, at Cedar Spring church in Edmonson county, where 
also he was ordained to the ministry, in June, 1839, by Frederick 
Meredith and John M. Chaudoin.  When the split occurred in the Green 
River Association, Cedar Spring church adhered to the Antimissionaries.  
Mr. Doyle attempted to obtain a letter of dismission, but was refused, 
on the charge of having fraternized with Missionary preachers and 
allowed them to preach in his church.  However, he finally succeeded in 
procuring a letter, with which he entered into the constitution of 
Little Hope church, which joined Liberty Association, in 1842.  Of this 
church, he was pastor the remainder of his life on earth.  He was also 
pastor of New Hope, Little Jordan and Cane Spring churches, at the time 
of his death, which occurred, about 1864.  His last labor was the 
preaching of a sermon at the funeral of a Mrs. Slemmons.  He closed his 
discourse and turned to sit down, when he suddenly dropped on the floor, 
and was immediately taken up a corpse.  Mr. Doyle was a good, plain, 
zealous preacher, and his labors were much blessed.  He was twice 
married, and raised eight daughters and five sons, all of whom became 
Baptists.
