About Jane Herndon

"Families who initially settled Johnson's Station were those of Robert Johnson, Robert Bradley, William Shortridge, John Suggett, David Herndon, Thomas Herndon, James Sterrett and Stephen Lowry. Adding to the numbers were Henry Herndon, a single man, and "Widow" Herndon, mother of the Herndons. By 1785 the Baptists at Great Crossing were ready to establish a church, the year and half preceding having apparently been devoted to such necessities as warding off Indians, clearing fields, establishing boundary lines, building homes and barns, procuring crops, and setting up hunting expeditions.

"On May 28 and 29, 1785, in an upper room of a house not far from the subsequent meetinghouse site, the home apparently of the Robert Johnsons, sixteen Great Crossings Baptists met to constitute a church. Adopting the Philadelphia Confession of Faith were charter members: William Cave, James Suggett, Sr., Robert Johnson, Thomas Ficklin, John Suggett, Julius Gibbs, Robert Bradley, Bartlett Collins, Jemima Johnson, Susanna Cave, Sarah Shipp, Caty Herndon (or Bohannon), Jane Herndon, Hannah Bradley, Betsey Leeman (or Lemon), and Betsey Collins. Clergy assisting were Lewis Craig, John Taylor, Richard Young, and Samuel Deadmon."
