Wilma, sounds good to me . I do know I have found several relatives who were born at New Hope. Like, I said I did not know where it was, just like everyone else ,trying to figure out where it was.

The Moffit house was on the same lot where Tom Cone later built his home, beside his general store and post office. My Roberts grandparents lived in the house across the highway from Aunt Net Moffit , widow of William S Moffit.(Jeanette Paden) Members of the church were usually buried in the Harmony Cemetery. I don’t have any memory of the New Hope church.

At the top of the next big hill is where the Wards live--the road goes south there too. Across the road where Wards live is a dead end.( If you go past the Mosses and down to Strawberry, you went too far. ) When my Dad was growing up ,they went to Salem thru the woods. As far as I know there were not any thru roads to Salem then, plus it was alot shorter to go thru the woods. (There was an old schoolhouse down this same road, but it is torn down now. ) Thanks for your input.

Mom doesn't have a clue where you are talking about and she was raised there. Me - I haven't been down the Oxford road in 20-30 years. So, I looked on Mapquest.- just put in Oxford and Wiseman. There are only about 8 roads that go north and 2-3 look really short. Only a couple of them seem to go straight up to Fulton Co. line - I would think these are the best bets. Ck'd New Hope AR and its way over by Fayetteville - I know that's not it ! Ya' know . . . years ago when I first read about these 2 churches on Wilma's son's site - I got the impression Prosperity was near Day and New Hope was closer to Wiseman. Sure would have been to talk to Robert King before he died. I think he knew something that has yet to be discovered. Guess I am being a little too skeptical but I don't think there is any kind of record I haven't heard of being wrong, including this old record book. The way I see it - the inside cover of the record book Wilma has, was written by her GF some time after the church folded. Now why couldn't he have mixed up the 2 little churches back then too ? ? ? This was all 150 years or so ago - I do want to know which one was where, but in the greater scheme of things . . . having it narrowed down to just 2 places isn't so bad. Still, I think you and I know in our heart - New Hope was closer to Wiseman than previously believed. That little tidbit on New Hope in the big Presbyterian book pretty much puts it where you think it was too. Just saying I agree with you. Now I'll go back and watch it rain some more.
