This thread has fascinated me although I have no line here. PBS did a documentry on Mulenburg County, KY a few years ago. I remember they were concentrating on the mid-1800's forward and how the land was stripped for coal and how bad conditions were for the miners and townspeople alike. They used John Prine's "Take Me Back To Mulenburg County," as the theme music at the beginning and end. I do not remember if there was any reference to churches or the original settlers of the county, but I am sure someone could go to the PBS site and see if this will be repeated or is on video form for purchase, there should be a synopsis.
