Printed For the Author. 1886. Republished By Church History Research & Archives 1976 Lafayette, Tennessee. Vol. 2, pp 113-114 [Barren County] JOHN CONLEE was a preacher in Green River Association, a few years. He is supposed to have been a native of New Jersey, but was raised up in South Carolina. He migrated to Tennessee while he was a young man, and there became a member of a Baptist Church. From thence he moved to Barren county, Kentucky, and united with old Mt. Tabor church. Here he was ordained to the ministry, by Zechariah Emerson and Robert Stockton, in April, 1811. He was, for a short time, pastor of a church on Alexanders creek in Warren county. After a few years he moved to Missouri. His gifts were small, and he acquired the habit of exaggerating in his conversation, that impaired his usefulness.
