A History of Kentucky Baptists, From 1769 to 1885, by J. H. Spencer, 1886, Reprinted by Church History and Archives, 1976, Lafayette, TN. Licking Association. Anderson County. JOHN F. JOHNSON, who began his ministry in Warwick Association, in New York, preached in the Licking Association the latter years of his life. He was a preacher and writer of respectable ability. In the absence of T. P. Dudley, he was chosen Moderator of the Association, in 1868. He lived at Lawrenceburg a number of years, but, after his second marriage, moved to Shelby county, where he spent his last days. He was pastor of Bethel, Salt River and some other churches, and ministered to them with satisfactory ability. But his manner was so rough, and he dealt so freely in sarcasm and caricature, that it is feared his preaching did more harm than good. He died, at a good old age, not far from 1879.
