Peter Durrett
Peter Durrett (c. 1733 – 1823) (also appeared in records as Peter Duerrett) was a Baptist preacher and slave, who with his wife founded the First African Baptist Church of Lexington, Kentucky by 1790. By his death, the congregation reached nearly 300 persons. It is the first black congregation west of the Allegheny Mountains, the first black Baptist congregation in the state and the third oldest in the United States. Its historic church was built in 1856, and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
==Early life and education==
Peter Durrett〔("First African Baptist Church" ), ''Lexington: The Athens of the West'', National Park Service, accessed 21 Aug 2010〕 was born into slavery on the plantation of his white father, Captain Duerrett of Caroline County, Virginia.〔(H. E. Nutter, "A Brief History of the First Baptist Church (Black) Lexington, Kentucky" ), in ''Souvenir, Sesqui-Centennial Celebration, 1790-1940,'' Lexington, KY: 1940, accessed 22 Aug 2010〕 He would have learned a variety of skills from his mother and fellow slaves. While in Caroline County, at about age 25, he was "awakened" to the gospel and began to be active as a Baptist exhorter.〔(Robert Hamilton Bishop's ''An Outline of the History of the Church in the State of Kentucky, during a period of forty years'' (containing the memoir of Rev. David Rice) ), T.T. Skillman, 1824, pp. 230-233〕 This was during the First Great Awakening, the revival of the eighteenth century when Methodist and Baptist preachers in the South made many new converts.
