REV. JOHN ANTLE was born April 15, 1789, in Cumberland county, Ky. Elizabeth Buchanan was born in Cumberland county, Pennsylvania. Her parents moved to Lincoln county, Kentucky, when she was seven years old. Her father died in that county, and she went to live with a married sister in Cumberland County. John Antle and Elizabeth Buchanan were there married. The family then moved to Morgan county, Illinois, in 1829, and from there to Sangamon county, arriving January 9, 1830, in what is now Salisbury township. Mrs. Elizabeth Antle died September 1844, and John Antle died August 30, 1864; she in Menard county and he in Salisbury.

Rev. John Antle preached to five churches, called Separate Baptists. One each at Salisbury and McKinney Settlement, in Sangamon county; Baker's Prairie and Sand Ridge, in Menard county, and one in Morgan county. The only pay he received or expected was the hope of a reward in a better world.
