Notes for Samuel Jr French: GOODSPEED'S HISTORY OF STEWART COUNTY, PUBLISHED1896 The Baptist were probably the first organized religious denominations in Stewart County, and the first church in the county was built by them in about 1803. It was a rough unhewn log house, puncheon floor and board roof, and stood about three and one half miles east of Dover on the Clarksville and Dover road, in what is now the Seven the Civil District. The old church was used until 1816, when it was torn down and a new Log building much larger and commodious was erected on Lick Creek, in the same district which was in use up to 1835, when the congregation disbanded. Log churches were built by the Baptists between 1810 and 1820 on Cub Creek in the second district, on Saline Creek in the Fourth District, on Crockett's Creek and on Hurricane Creek in the Eleventh District. The early Baptist Ministers were Revs. Travers Moore, James Haynes, Samuel Ross, Frank Moore, William Turner, John Morgan, Samuel French, and Robert George, all of whom were men of more than ordinary ability and eloquence for their day.
