To Judy Brittain and all other interested parties: St. John's Llutheran Church-LCMS 2126 St. John's Church Road Conover, NC 28613 This Church is intending to reprint the work of Mark Smith within this year. I would suggest that you send a Letter to St. John's requesting a copy and that you be notified when the book is available. If there is sufficient interest they would me moved to publish quickly quickly. I Highly recommend this publication if you are interestd in the early families who moved into this area between 1750 and 1800. I am attempting to put together a publication covering all the early German Reformed and Lutheran Congregations that were in this area in those early years. I would be happy to have just a simple message from anyone who would be interested such information as I might compile concerning these Congregations. I have learned about Old Salem Llutheran Church in present Catawba County that even has graves of slaves in the Cemetery. There are many field stones with no names. If you know of the location of early cemeteries with or without names in the original Old Lincoln County I would welcome your information. This would help to direct me as to where I might find the locations of these early churches. Pat C.
