Printed For the Author. 1886. Republished By Church History Research & Archives 1976 Lafayette, Tennessee. Vol. 2, page 26. AMBROSE BOURNE was brought into the ministry at Marble Creek - now East Hickman - during the great revival at the beginning of the present century. Soon after he commenced preaching, he moved to Madison County, and gave his membership to Tate's Creek Church. After remaining there a short time, he moved to Fayette county, where he united with Mt. Gilead church, about 1810. About 1817, he moved to Todd County and became a member of Mt. Gilead church, which he probably raised up. Under his ministry at this church, the distinguished John S. Wilson was brought into the ministry. The time of Mr. Bourne's death is not known. He appears to have been a good man of quite moderate talent.
