Children

John Whitlock was the father of twenty-three children. It could be truthfully said that he diligently obeyed the command to "multiply and replenish the earth."

Occupation

As a preacher John possessed good ability, and stood as a staunch defender of the Baptist doctrines. One of the most noted events of his life was that in 1827 he went with the Separate Baptists and for the time being separated himself from the great body of Baptists, but returned in 1842. While he was with the Separate Baptists he established a church at Pleasant Valley, two miles below Statesville, over which he became pastor. The latter part of his life was spent in Warren County, Tennessee.
