Merle, was there ever an actual Brethren Church (with a name to have records available) in the southern borderline of Muhlenberg-Logan Counties, Kentucky - minister Francis Stump - period 1795-1805 ?? The exodus of most of the group of families who were Brethren seemed to have emigrated to Edgar County, Illinois about 1825. A member of the Rhoades (Rodes, Roads - perhaps given name Henry) family may have also been a minister there. Francis Stump died August 1801 and left a will. I'm now looking for a burial service or place of burial. Thank you, Liz Stump ----- Original Message ---- From: Merle C Rummel <cliff@rtkonline.com> To: brethren@rootsweb.com Sent: Wednesday, February 20, 2008 6:26:14 AM Subject: Re: [BRE] Christophel Kalckglasser, m. Maria Mack There was an "ancient" Lilly family at Beaver Dam, when I pastored there - and another family with that name at my father's church in St Joe Co MI back about 1950 - I wonder if this is connected?
