Question: Was there also a Brethren community in Shelby County, KY? Adam Harter married Esther Hardman, daughter of Elder Anthony Hardman. I am not sure when they married, but he moved with the family from Frederick County, MD, to Washington County, PA. From there they moved with three of Esther's brothers to Shelby County (now Spencer County), KY, before ending up in Preble County, Ohio.

I have 7 children for them, with births and marriages, but not much more data. I have that, while they came to Preble Co OH (children all married there), they died in Elkhart Co IN (no exact dates -Adam about 1832 - migration about 1830). Yes, there were two church areas in the Shelby//Spencer County area. The Hardmans lived more north of Shelbyville KY, on Floyd Creek. This still seems to be the Beech Creek Church, near Mount Eden (Little Beech creek, Big Beech creek - just south of the hill up to Mt Eden).. Most of those families (Leatherman, Hardman, Hostetler, Ribble, came down from Washington Co PA (probably mostly from Washington Co MD). There was a main migration to the Dayton OH area from there. Christian Hostetler said that he moved to Dayton because they didn't speak enough German. Many of these also moved on across the Ohio River to the southern Indiana churches. The Briar Ridge Christian Church, northwest of Mt Eden, seems to be a successor of the Beech Creek Church. The other church area was the Elk Creek Church area, nearer the Falls (Louisville KY) - that area has become quite suburban, and I didn't find out much there. The Brethren seem to have lived more north of Shelbyville, on even into Oldham County Merle C Rummel
