Hi! this is my first post to this list. I am a church historian/minister and am writing a book on churches in Illinois of our denomination, regular or predestinarian baptist. There was a church, which existed from 1832 until 1897, called Bethel, at Indian Grove (in early minutes referred to as Bethel on Mackinaw Creek). I have compiled a partial list of members names but it is very limited without the actual church records. The church was located about 14 miles east of Lexington, or about 6 miles south of Fairbury. I have not yet obtained a deed for the property to identify its exact location, but would like to do so. I know nothing yet about the church building, but assume there was probably a rather small frame building here (maybe a log building before that). I realize it is not likely anyone will be able to help me, but decided to ask anyway. The family names I know about who were members included Darnell, Hess, Richardson, Steers, Spence, Scates, Cunningham, Gibson, Phillips, Phalmer and Lucas, among others.
