Drakeford Gray gave the land along Corn Creek for the Church in 1800. He died in 1804, before the church really got started good. The 1st book of records were lost, or weren't microfilmed. In 1813, Presley Gray, his son was the Clerk, and he was at every meeting except about 2 of them until his death in February, 1838. Wyatt Coleman then became the Clerk. The Church asked for a record to be made of the members, and again in the 1835, I believe, but it wasn't written out in the records at that time. When I got to where I thought I was at the end, here were lists after lists of members.

What I'm sending you gives a lot of death dates of the members, many of which you will know, and a lot of them are my relatives of the Connell, Duncan, Pryor, Jackson, Nicholson families and others. I believe when I start typing further, I'll probably find a lot more notices of deaths. Heretofore, all I've had on many of my ancestors, were their Will's, not exact death dates.

 

 

 



A note from Suzanne Shepard about the above photo of gravestone: "Rev. Ben Coleman was my "several" great-uncle. He was born in VA abt. 1749-51 and married Sarah Gutherie in 1771, VA. They moved to Trimble in the early 1800's and founded the church. He died in 1837 and is buried there."
