Occupation Inventor/preacher Father Ambrose Crittendon Booton Mother Elizabeth Fry RECORD OF SERVICE: Enlisted 02 Jun 1861 and appointed as captain and company commander of the Dixie Artillery. Resigned Oct 1861 to serve in the Virginia State Legislature. He was also put in charge of the harness-making industry in Page County until the end of the war. Ordained as a Primitive Baptist Minister 4 May 1870. ====== Elder John K. Booton's boyhood days were spent on the Long Meadow Farm, on Mill Creek. His education was received under the noted teacher, philosopher, and poet, Joseph Salyards, at New Market. At an early age, he displayed ability as a speaker, he made a political address at the age of eighteen, which met with many commendations. The period of agitation that ushered in the Civil war found him a Colonel of militia, a prominent leader in the movement for secession, and an orator of great influence. He was the organizer of the Dixie Artillery, of which he was captain until his election to the Confederate Legislature. His position and his fearless declarations of his convictions made him especially obnoxious to the Union forces, and the fact that he was a lame man, with many distinguishing characteristics made him exceptionally liable to detection; but although he was forced to endure many hardships, he succeeded in evading every party detailed to capture him and came through the war unscarred. In 1850 he was married to Emily Heiskell, daughter of Elder William C. Lauck. he in his turn was ordained an elder of the Old School Baptist Church in 1870. During his ministry he constituted three churches: Alma, in Page County, Cedar Creek, in Frederick County, and Bentonville, in Warren County, Virginia. His longest ministerial service was at Battle Run, Rappahannock County, Va., where he served as pastor for thirty years. Besides these four named churches, he also served as pastor of Big Spring, Thumb Run, Barrows Run, and Ground Vine churches. Elder Booton was an authority on all questions, relating to the history and doctrines of his church.
