There were established Church's in Montgomery Co, Va. In the copy of the Deed of Old St. Peters 5 Aug. 1806, is mention that there was a Lutheran Calvinistic Church on Tom's Creek James Patton sold unto John Wall, and Michael Surface, Elders of this Church a tract or parcel containing 4 acres, part of the 7,000 acre tract of James Patter by letters bearing the date of ???175? lying in Montgomery Co. on a branch of Stroubles Creek and bounded as follows beginning at a stake by th eedge of a meadow on the south side of the GERMAN CHURCH on Jacob Price's land ....to have and to hold all rights unto the said John Wall and Michael Surface and their successors forever, to and for the use of the said German Church. Among the signers were John Preston, Frances Preston, John Breckenridge and John Brown Executors. (Several the neighbors of Andreas Bushong and located near his property). "The Promise was made to the Lutheran-Calvanistic German Church. Apparently it was built and was still standing o the lot and had been built some years before, probably as early as 1780. It is doubtful if thr were any deeds secured for Church property prior to 1780. Mention is made in the will of Adam Wall 1799 ( and Land Patent) of a schoolhouse that stood at one corner of his place near the mouth of Stroubles Creek." "St. Peters was evidently organized early at McDonald Fort and moved to the site, as located in the above deed about 1770 and the log building that was standing in 1806 was built about 1780. This site was chosen because it was central to the people of the Upper Thoms and Stroubles Creeks as well as to the lower section of said Creeks, as well as the settlements that spread from each creek centering at the site of the Church." One problem is that apparently the records remained in the hands of the minister Beginning in 1795 Rev. William E. Hubbert was the last minister to preach there before it was torn down. They probably had a supply minister prior to that. A new St. Peters was built about 2 1/2 miles from the old church. The baptismal lists beginning in 1793 were published in this book, but I see no Bushongs. Marriage records don't begin until 1799, so basically the supply ministers probably kept the records at their homes and took them with them when they left and they have been lost. Judy Rev. Ulysses S. A. Heavener, German New River Settlement, pg 35-36, Gen. Pub. 1981. What became of those Church Records, perhaps they still exist, although I have not seen them.
