John Butterworth 

John Butterworth (1727-1803) served as minister of the Particular Baptist church at Cow Lane, Coventry, 1753-1803. He was originally from a prominent Baptist family in Rossendale, Lancashire. His Serious Address (1790), signed “Christophilus,” was written in opposition to the Unitarianism of Priestley. He also produced a concordance and Bible dictionary. Three of his brothers were Baptist ministers as well:  James at Bromsgrove, Henry at Bridgnorth, and Lawrence (1740-1828) at Evesham.
