Sketches Of Tennessee's Pioneer Baptist Preachers
ROBERT G. KIMBROUGH
(pages 297 - 302)
Robert G., the youngest son of Elder Duke Kimbrough, by his thirdwife, Eunice (Carlock) Kimbrough, a daughter of Christopher Carlock,was born July 24, 1806, in Jefferson County, Tennessee. YoungKimbrough was brought up to farm-life, with such educationaladvantages as a preacher's son would have in the community where hewas brought up, one hundred years ago. He tutored some in a Methodistcollege at New Market, having what studies he could carry in themeantime, but, finding there were objections to having a Baptist teachin the school, he resigned his position, at the same time ending hiscollege days. The rest of his education he dug out at home and by dintof hard study in the school of life and experience. His first seriousreligious impressions were on this wise: His oldest brother, William(a half-brother), many years his senior, was on a visit to hisfather's home. He had just made a profession of religion and was allaglow with his new-found hope. By request of his father, he toldbefore the entire family his Christian experience, which made a deepimpression upon Robert. At the same time he heard Elijah Rogers preach"one of his soul-stirring sermons, which greatly increased hisinterest on the subject of religion." He stifled his convictions,however, and went on in his unbelief and indecision till he came underthe influence of a great revival, at the age of twenty-five, when hefully resolved to "seek the Lord." The second Saturday in June, thedarkest and the brightest day of his life, the light of God shinedinto his darkened soul. The following Saturday he was approved forbaptism, and the next day was baptized by Elder Augustine Bowers intothe fellowship of the Mill Spring Church, Jefferson County, Tennessee,with twelve other converts. Standing on the bank of the river,witnessing the scene was a vast throng of people, and his venerableold father, whose deeptoned, solemn "Amen," to each immersion, madethe occasion memorable. After some months of prayerful study andstruggle of mind with reference to a call to preach, his impressionsripened into a decision, and he answered, "Here am I; send me." He waslicensed to preach, December, the first Saturday, 1833; and at theJuly meeting (first Saturday), 1836, he was ordained to the full workof the ministry, by a presbytery consisting of Elders Duke Kimbrough,John Lockart, Augustine Bowers, and James Kennon.
January 23, 1836, he was married to Lemira A. Wheeler, a daughter ofThomas and Elizabeth Wheeler, of Campbell County, near Jacksboro,Tenn. They had seven children, four of them dying in infancy, two sonsand a daughter living to become members of a Baptist church.
Elder Kimbrough's first efforts at preaching were in Jefferson County.But it was not long till he received an appointment, with Brother J.S. Coram, from the East Tennessee General Association, to do missionwork and to preach to the destitute in the counties of upper EastTennessee. After another year or two these brethren were appointed bythe same body to do similar work. He then left his native county,moving to Jacksboro, the county seat of Campbell County, where hetaught for one year in the County Academy, and organized a Baptistchurch, which he served as pastor in connection with a small interestat Fincastle, a nearby village, where the anti-mission influence hadreduced the church to a membership of five. Both these churches werebuilt up and strengthened by his ministry, and he had the pleasure ofbaptizing something like a hundred persons 'during his one year' stayin the county, some of them being Methodists. In 1811 he moved to KnoxCounty, and became pastor of two large country churches, Third Creekand Beaver Ridge. The last mentioned was the largest church in theTennessee Association, having a membership in 1846 (Benedict) of 258;Third Creek being the third largest, with a membership of 221. Thesechurches were blessed under his ministry, Beaver Ridge especially,receiving large accessions to her membership.
In 1847 he accepted a commission to be an assistant to his brother,Bradley Kimbrough, in raising money to endow Union University, atMurfreesboro. He continued in this work about fourteen months,laboring mostly in East Tennessee and North Alabama. At one church hetold the people the Baptists were wanting $50,000 for Christian andministerial education, whereupon an anti-mission and anti-educationpreacher said "I have now found where the missionaries' bank is; BobKimbrough has let the cat out of the wallet."
In 1848 he moved to Marshall County, locating at Cornersville, wherehe spent most of his remaining days, when not away from home on amissionary tour. He now accepted an agency under the appointment ofthe Foreign Mission Board, and was the first agent the board everappointed for Tennessee and North Alabama. He traveled over most ofthis territory, generally on horseback, making his own appointments,preaching not only in churches but in schoolhouses, private houses, ingroves, anywhere, in order that he might reach the people with hismessage. His desire was to preach the gospel to sinners wherever hemight find them, and to stimulate the churches to send the gospelwhere it was not, that the whole world might hear it. Many churchesand individuals responded to his appeals for money; some had theirsuspicions and doubts, and turned a cold shoulder. During hismissionary operations he had frequent opportunities to help hispreaching brethren in protracted meetings, in which line of work hehad many seals to his ministry. After eleven years of seed-sowing, anda little reaping, in the foreign mission work, he returned to thepastorate, taking charge of the Mount Zion and Marshall churches. In1868 he traveled as agent for the Home Mission Board. By request ofthe General Association he moved to Murfreesboro, and taught a classof young ministers for two years. In 1872 he took charge of the MarionChurch, in Cannon County, witnessing a goodly number of additions tothe church. In January of the following, year he moved back to hisfarm in Marshall County, where he finished his course, dyingpeacefully at his residence, near Mars Hill, on the 22nd day of July,1879, aged 73 years.
"Resolved, That our church has lost a devout and earnest member, thecommunity a good citizen, and the cause of Christ a zealous and ableminister of the gospel; that we regard Brother Kimbrough as a BibleChristian, sound in his doctrinal sentiments, unswerving in hisdefense of the gospel, etc. Done by order of his church." Signed bythe moderator and clerk.
ANECDOTES.
1. During one of his missionary campaigns with Brother Coram, in RoaneCounty, as they were on a still hunt for Baptists they chanced, oneday, to meet up with a gentleman, to whom they made known theirbusiness. He informed them that the lady of the house near by was amissionary Baptist. They rode at once to the house, and at first foundno one within, but soon they heard some one coming down stairs, whoproved to be the lady of the house. They told her who they were, thatthey were Missionary Baptist preachers. She immediately weptprofusely, at which they were greatly surprised, but, calming herself,she told them that when she heard them enter the house she wasupstairs on her knees praying to the Lord to send Missionary Baptistpreachers to her house. and that when she found two already in herhouse her prayers were answered sooner than she expected, and shecouldn't help; but weep. The husband was an elder in the CumberlandPresbyterian church, but was glad to help arrange for a meeting in anold house near by. He took the preachers as his guest and the meetingbegan and continued for some days. One evening, when the man of thehouse was out, Brother Kimbrough, feeling a little mischievous,bantered Brother Coram for a discussion on certain controverted pointsof doctrine. "All right," said Coram, humoring the joke and himselfwanting some fun. Said Kimbrough to Coram: "I suppose, sir, you are aBaptist preacher?" He acknowledged that he was. Then said Kimbrough:`For the time being I am a Presbyterian preacher, and I attack you onyour strange doctrine, that only immersion is Scriptural baptism, youropposition to the baptism of infants, and your close communion." Sothe argument began, but as Coram was pressing the argument and forcinghis opponent, not unexpectedly, to surrender one position afteranother, the man of the house came in, and seemed to want to helpBrother Kimbrough to stand his ground; in a little while, however, heturned the matter over to the combatants, to knock it out in their ownway. Kimbrough got his whipping all right, and enjoyed it immensely,as did also the woman of the house.
2. As Elder Kimbrough was traveling in Alabama, in the interests ofUnion University, he met up with a man by the name of Kitchen, andinquired of him the way to Elder Roach's. Mr. Kitchen was anenthusiastic Whig, and was more interested in politics than religion.So his first question to Brother Kimbrough was, "Where are you from?"and his second, "Whom are you for - how do you vote?" Dodging alittle, and wishing to give the conversation a turn, Elder Kimbroughreplied: "I am for the Lord Jesus Christ; he is my candidate. I thinkwe all might be for him. Are you a Christian?" "Yes. sir." "Are you a,preacher?" "Yes, sir." "Well, light and come in. I just left thetable; there is plenty, and you must eat." Brother Kimbrough insistedon being directed to Elder Roach's, but Mr. Kitchen positively refusedto give him directions till he should "eat," insisting that it was hiscustom to "feed the preachers." He introduced the preacher to "the oldwoman," his wife, who would not hear to his eating a common dinnerwith the family, but directed him to a chair till she could makesuitable preparations, saying: "I will not set the like of this beforea preacher. I was raised to feed the preachers, and I glory in it.Take a chair. I will boil the coffee, sir." The dinner beingreplenished with coffee and other "extras," Elder Kimbrough sat downto a hearty meal. While he was eating Mr. Kitchen talked and walkedaround the table, expressing his gratification, wondering at andadmiring the physical "build" of the preacher, for he was "put up fromthe ground." The dinner finished, Elder Kimbrough got his directionsto Preacher Roach's, and went on his way rejoicing.
