JOHN SHACKLEFORD

was born in Caroline county in 1750. When twenty-two years
old he became a minister of the Gospel. He was ordained in
1774 and immediately became pastor of Tuckahoe church in
Caroline. Here a great revival was experienced in 1788 and that
year he baptized over 300 persons. The Rev. Andrew Broaddus,

I, paid a splendid tribute to his work, which tribute may be found
in the First Series of Taylor's Virginia Baptist Ministers. He
died in Kentucky in 1829.
