Betty, the way I understand it, the first church organized was at Wheeling, then another one was the New Hope church that was between Day and Wiseman. If you read the first page on the church records that either Marsha or Billie Welsh posted it mentions New Hope church. That was in Fulton I think at that time because some of the census records show Fulton co. You probably don't remember the old road between Day and Wiseman, the church which had been converted to a dwelling house, was off of the road, maybe a quarter of a mile on a dirt road that got very muddy at times. I think the road turned off there where the white house is, there were lots of trees, more that now. That was the old New Hope Church, my mother's uncle Will and his wife aunt Ella Gault lived there them. Opal Harber, Luther Harber's wife, was their daughter. It looks like, from what I can see from the road, that a new house has been built maybe close to where the old one was. Myrlene

Mrylene, I thought that was the church that you said was out behind where the Todd's live. I think thier daugther Rosella Todd Booth is the one that build the new house there. That area would have been in Fulton Co between 1842 and 1874. The Fulton county line came south to Franklin and about a mile north of Violet Hill during that period. I guess I didn't know that Opal was a Gault, learn something new all the time.
