A History of Kentucky Baptists, From 1769 to 1885, by J. H. Spencer, 1886,
Reprinted by Church History and Archives, 1976, Lafayette, TN.  Gasper
River Association. Logan County.

WILLIAM TATUM was a prominent minister in Gasper River Association, for
more than twenty years.  He was probably the best writer, in that body, of
his day, and his success, and stability in office, prove him to have been
a good pastor.  He succeeded Benjamin Talbot as Moderator of the
Association, in 1830, and served in that capacity, till 1837.  Whether he
was raised up to the ministry in Center church, in Logan county, or moved
from some other field of labor, has not been ascertained; but he was a
member of that organization, as early as 1814, and succeeded Lewis Fortner
in its pastoral care, in 1816.  This church he served, without
intermission, twenty-one years.  Mt. Pleasant church, in the same county,
which he aided in constituting, April 20, 1822, enjoyed his pastoral
labors, from 1828, till 1836.  He also preached a number of years for
Nelson Creek church, in Muhlenburg [sic] county.  In 1836, he resigned all
his charged, and, next year, closed his services in this Association.
