Rev. David Chenault, called "Kentucky David" to distinguish him from his son "Tennessee David" joined the Baptist Church at Mt. Nebo in Madison County, Kentucky on a prong of Otter Creek, northeast of Richmond. He was ordained in 1800 and about 1831 became the pastor of Unity Baptist Church, previously served by his wife's father, Andrew Tribble, and by her uncle, James Quisenberry.
Rev. Chenault had only a common school education, but had good judgment and strong intellect. He was for 20 years the justice of the peace, an extensive farmer, and accumulated a considerable fortune.
