Biography
By Donna R Causey
Elder John Leigh Townes was born in Amelia county, Virginia, November 15, 1774. He was educated at Hampden-Sidney College, Prince Edward county, and finished his law studies with Judge Peter Johnson, and was admitted to the bar in Amelia county, in 1806. On the 24th of December, 1806, he was married to Miss Polly S. Eggleston. On the commencement of the war of 1812, between the United States and Great Britain, he, as captain, commanded a volunteer company and served out the war in that capacity, stationed principally at Norfolk, Virginia.
At the close of the war, in 1815, he received a commission as major of the first battalion, First Regiment of Virginia Militia, from the executive of Virginia, in which capacity he acted during his residence in Virginia. In 1815, he was elected to the legislature of Virginia and served with some distinction through the session of 1815 and 1816. In the summer of 1817, he joined the United Baptist Church of Christ, at Sandy Creek, Amelia county, and was baptized by Rev. John Skurry, then pastor of that church, his wife having been baptized several years before, by the Rev. Richard Dabbs. In October 1817, he moved with his family from Virginia and settled in Madison county, Alabama, then Mississippi territory. After the formation of Alabama Territory, he was elected from Madison county to the convention that formed the State constitution.
In 1820, he moved into Lawrence county and settled on Town Creek, when he became a member of Carmel Church and was in the formation of what was originally called " The Big Bend of Tennessee River Association," which was afterward called "The Muscle Shoals Association." In 1824, he was regularly ordained in Carmel Church a minister of the gospel, by a presbytery consisting of Elders Henry W. Hodges, Jeremiah Burns and William. Leigh. He was a faithful minister, always engaged in the discharge of his Christian and ministerial duties. At times he supplied as many as three or four churches with the preached word. He was clerk of the association for nine sessions and moderator for two sessions. He was pastor of the Courtland, Russell Valley, Bethel and other churches, for several years.
At the time of his death, which occurred July 28, 1846, he was pastor of Mt. Pleasant and Bethel Churches. He was always a zealous friend of the missionary cause, though opposed by many of his brethren. He was a minister that was beloved by all who knew him, persuasive in his manner, reaching the feelings of others by showing that he himself felt. He was a good writer and wrote several circular letters which evinced thought and research. He died in the triumphs of faith. Chancellor Eggleston D. Townes, formerly of Tuscumbia, was a son of Elder Townes.
