MARTIN UTTERBACK was raised up to the ministry, in Salem Association.  
He was a native of Virginia, and was born about the year 1770.  In early 
youth, he came, perhaps with his parents, to Woodford county, Kentucky, 
and settled on Clear Creek.  He received a fair education, for that 
time.  During an extensive revival, which prevailed in his neighborhood, 
under the ministry of John Taylor, in 1789, he, with 163 others, 
professed conversion, and was baptized, by that famous old pioneer, into 
the fellowship of Clear Creek church.  After some years, he moved to 
Hardin county, and united with Bethel church.  Here he was ordained to 
the ministry, about 1807.  For several years, he traveled and preached 
much with Warren Cash.  He was by no means a brilliant preacher.  But he 
possessed good, strong common sense, was sound in the faith, and was a 
good expositor of the Scriptures.  His plain, pious discourses were 
enjoyed by believers, and he did much good, in strengthening the young 
churches, in the frontier settlements.  In 1811, he preached the 
introductory sermon before Salem Association.  He also wrote one of the 
earliest and best circular letters, published by that body.
	In 1818, he moved to Grayson county, and took the pastoral care of 
Rock Creek church.  He also succeeded Enos Keith in the pastoral office 
at Concord.  After laboring a numbr of years in this region, he moved to 
Richland county, Illinois, where he died at a good old age, and 
doubtless received the reward of the righteous.
