JAMES NALL was born in Scott county, Kentucky, in 1787.  He was raised 
by an aunt, who gave him a fair English education.  Being quite lame 
from the effects of a "white swelling," he adopted school teaching as 
his profession.  While engaged in this occupation, in Hardin county, he 
professed religion under the ministry of Shadrach Brown, by whom he was 
baptized into the fellowship of Mill Creek church.  In 1822, he was 
married to the daughter of Enoch Boone, of Mead [sic] county.  He 
afterward moved to LaRue county, where he was licensed to preach, by 
Nolin church, in August 1825.  His improvement in speaking was so slow 
that he was not ordained till 1832. At this time, he was a member of 
Forks of Otter Creek church, in Hardin county.  In 1838, he moved to the 
neighborhood of Gilead church, in the same county.  About that time, 
this church became much confused, on the subject of missions, and in 
1840, Warren Cash, its venerable pastor, led off a large party, of which 
he constituted a "Regular Baptist" church, in the same house.  Mr. Nall 
was chosen pastor of the original church, and ministered to it the 
remainder of his earthly life.  He died from the effects of a fall from 
his horse, in 1842.
	Mr. Nall was a "slow preacher", but he was a man of respectable 
standing.  He possessed a sound judgment, and was a good disciplinarian.  
Hence he was not without utility to the churches.  He was Moderator of 
Salem Association, in 1840.
