Boone's Creek Baptist Association

New Providence Church - 1822

Transcribed by Sherri from images donated by Joy Fisher from FHL Film #358487.

This church belonged to Boone's Creek Assn. In 1870 the congregation built a new frame house upon the pike, about one mile from the Old Stone Meeting House, which was erroneously called New Providence by some to distinguish it from the former meeting house. New Providence Church was located on Comb's Creek in Clark County, neary Kiddville, on th eastern border of Indian Old Fields. It was at first an arm of Upper Howard's Creek Church and is referred to in the records of that church as the "Arm at Old Fields" (meaning Indian Old Fields). The church was constituted in 1822 and was received into North Dist. Assn. when it convened with Goshen Church the same year, at which time the church reported 14 members and John B. Hays and Vivion Daniel were the messengers. New Providence Churc remained in North Dist. until she ceased to exist several years ago. ** Note: The first and last paragraphs contradict each other, but I have transcribed them exactly as recorded in the Barton Papers.   Back   Next
