A primary method I am using in my research of the early Brethren Churches of Kentucky, is to follow the Brethren families, as they go to Kentucky, and as members of the family leave Kentucky in the moves west. I have collected the following data on these families. I would appreciate your review of this information, and any proven corrections you can provide. Than you Merle C Rummel ********************************* DICK Family Known Brethren family into Kentucky, part of Illinois migration.
