Is there any information (membership, history, etc.) available on the Bethlehem Methodist Church in Blount County? I have a copy of a Certificate of Baptism for John A. Strickland dated April 17, 1880. It is signed by B. F. Lea member of the north Alabama M. E. Conference, M. E. South. John Asberry Strickland was born September 26, 1879, and died August 1943 and was buried in the Waxahachie City Cemetery, Ellis County, Texas. He was the son of William Daniel and Margaret Kisire (Murphree) Strickland. Like so many others in her family the Widow Margaret Murphree Strickland and her four sons migrated to Ellis County, Texas where she joined the Oak Branch Methodist Church, Ellis County, Texas in 1892. John Asberry Strickland is the grandson of Elijah Murphree and William M. Strickland, and g grandson of Daniel Easley... all of Blount County. I would like to find out more about the Bethlehem Methodist Church of Blount County if possible. Thank you. Ann Turk in Texas
