The Presbyterian ministry of Kentucky was reinforced, in 1786, by the
accession of the Rev. THOMAS B. CRAIGHEAD, and Rev. ANDREW McCLURE.  Mr.
Craighead was a native of North Carolina.  Shortley after his arrival in
Kentucky, he was called to the pastoral charge of the Shiloh congregation
in Sumner county, Tenn.  Here, being opposed to the extravagancies of the
times, and suspected of favoring pelagianism, he became unpopular.  In
1805, a commission was appointed by the synod of Kentucky, which was
directed to investigate the correctness of the report of his unsoundness. 
The investigation which succeeded, a long and protracted one, resulted in
the suspension of Mr. Craighead from the gospel ministry.  He made several
ineffectual efforts to have the suspension removed, but did not succeed
until the year 1824, when he was enabled to make so good a vindication of
himself, and to explain his views so much to the satisfaction of the
General Assembly, that they restored him to the ministerial standing.  Not
long after this event, he departed this life in Nashville, aged about
seventy years.  For some time before his death, he had suffered under the
combined misfortunes of poverty and blindness.  Mr. Craighead was of a
tall but spare figure, not less than six feet in height.  He excelled as
an extemporaneous orator - his eloquence being of that fervid kind which
captivates and carries away the hearer in spite of himself.  The Hon. John
Breckinridge said of him, that his discourses made a more lasting
impression upon his memory than those of any other man he had ever heard.
