Notes for E
LDER JOHNSON ADAMS:
Johnson Adams became pastor in 1833, continuing until he was removed from office Aug. 16, 1845, for joining the Missionary Baptist church. Rumblings appeared as early as Oct. 21, 1837, against Johnson, when he was accused of "deviating from the draft of doctrine he used to preach." The next day, Johnson temporarily assuaged criticism by submitting a "summary of the principles of doctrine" which he adhered to in his preaching. Further deviations, led to his final dismissal, a step which the church appeared reluctantly and painfully forced to take. After things settled down, thirteen members, including the pastor, Johnson Adams, had been excluded. these thirteen promptly formed the Missionary Baptist church in Cades Cove. The older church assumed the name Primitive Baptist church" on May 15, 1841, and resumed church business as usual.
