I'm pleased to report that after a little break, Debbie Jordan has begun on Book 2 of the Ebenezer Church Minutes. Just as a refresher, these are the actual original minutes that the church body agreed to loan Debbie for transcription. These minutes are written in pencil, so it will not be an easy task. There is a large gap in time from the May 1866, ending date of Book 1 to the November 1887, beginning date for the second book. I'm sure you will recognize many of these names. Here is the first entry. As always, we invite add'l info on any of these folks. I believe W.C. Kelly would be Wm. C. Kelly from the Charles Womack letters. He was age 7 in the 1860 Schley census, living in the Womack home (a nephew as I recall) so that would make him about age 34-35 here.
