Terry, I'm confident that Frieda is seeking information from the book, "History of Methodism in Alabama and West Florida", by Marion Elias Lazenby. This book has a copyright date of 1960 by the North Alabama Conference and Alabama-West Florida Conference of The Methodist Church. The book is indexed. I have a copy of the book. It talks about Tuscaloosa Circuit "The circuit extended far up into Blount County. One of the first Blount County churches was Ebenezer, organized 1820 in the home of Aaron Murphree, about fifteen miles southeast of Blountsville and not far from Rosa near Cleveland. Two local preachers, Peter Foust and Wm. McDonald, were active in this church. Among its members who entered the itinerancy were Jesse Ellis and John Foust. William Foust, David Foust, Daniel Easley and Cumming Hallmark were local preachers." "Farther down Murphree's Valley was Shiloh, organized in 1820 at or near Chepultepec (now Allgood), in Blount County. (A church at Inland, about five miles west of Allgood, was organized very early also; says Will F. Franke, "Rev. James Blackburn and son Joel settled not later than 1817 on the Blackburn Prong of the Warrior, and built a log cabin church before the advent of Ebenezer Hearn, and deeded same to the Methodists about 1822, which is now Clear Springs Methodist Church") Charles Blakley (My ancestors included Celia Murphree, widow of James Daniel Blakley, who m. Rev. William S. Foust following Blakley's death in 1846, and James and Joel Blackburn, above) Terry Jackson wrote: > Freida, > Here's a book by the correct name but has a different author.
