Elder Ambrose C. Booton united with the Baptists in his sixteenth year and began preaching in his eighteenth year. January 1, 1814, he was ordained to all the functions of the gospel ministry and for more than half a century he was numbered among the ablest ministers of his day. He was, by profession, a school teacher much of his life and was noted for his strong mind and retentive memory. During many years prior to the division in the Baptist Church about 1832, when Arminian doctrines were being advocated and new practices being introduced Elder Booton firmly opposed them, and at the time of the separation
stood firm with the Primitive party who began to be called, and still are known, as the Old School Baptists.
