1841:

Jan - trustees released from trying to obtain a deed from James
         STROWD for an acre of land.

Feb - appears there was a dispute between Jesse MOON and 
          Jessey JONES over a hog which they both claimed.
          Church believes it to be an honest mistake, no charges.

Mar - STROWD attended the meeting & made out a deed.
          Jessey JONES requested the help of the church re
          a difficulty at the Brownsville Church - same charge
          over the hog. Petitioned this church, Holly Spring
          Church, Cedar Church, Sinking Creek Church & Smiths
