About this book
Life of Rev. James Kinner
Author: H. Val Washington
Year: 1899
Life of Rev. James Kinner, the Pioneer Colored Baptist Preacher of Middlesex County, Virginia is an 1899 biographical sketch written by H. Val. Washington of White Stone, Virginia. The Introduction is written by William Edward Robinson of Harmony Village, Virginia. The booklet documents the life, ministry, education, and influence of Rev. James Kinner (1821–1878), an African American Baptist minister who was born into slavery in Essex County, Virginia, and became one of the earliest and most influential Black Baptist preachers on Virginia's Middle Peninsula. The volume includes recollections of Kinner's religious conversion, pastoral work at Antioch and Grafton Baptist Churches, educational endeavors, family life, and death, along with an appendix on divisions of time. Illustrated with a portrait of Kinner, this rare publication provides valuable insight into African American religious life, education, and community leadership in nineteenth-century Virginia.
