| | John T. Brown's Churches of Christ: L. L. Pinkerton by John T. Brown. |
 | | William and Elizabeth (Littig) Pinkerton, his parents, have given twelve preachers to the church, viz.: five sons--William, Lewis, Thomas, Samuel, and Elisha; six grandsons--John, Thomas, and William, sons of William; Burnet and James, sons of Lewis; and William, son of Thomas; and one great-grandson, James N. Crutcher, grandson of Lewis. |
 | | Pinkerton passed his childhood and youth amid the scenes and ordinary experiences of farm life, in Chester county, Pa., and Brook county, Va., near Bethany, most of the time being spent in "hard, incessant, ill-requited toil." His educational advantages were limited to an irregular attendance at country schools and one year's study at a Seminary. |
 | | In the summer of 1840, Dr. Pinkerton became the preacher of the church at New Union, Woodford county, and in October, 1841, minister of the church in Lexington. |
