Hoblit researchers -- please read the following: "The Lucases while in Ohio and later in Illinois belonged to the Regular Baptist Church, also known as the Hardshell or Predestinarian Baptist Church. Abraham Lucas was an original member of the Caesars Creek Baptist Church when it was organized on 21 Apr 1813 (C9). Meetings were held in the area as early as 1803 (D39). The Caesars Creek Baptist Church was the oldest organized church in Greene Co., Ohio, and was located a few miles southwest of Jamestown, Greene, Ohio (D39). The first church building was a log structure located on Caesars Creek on the road between Patterson's crossing and New Jasper. The membership list for 1820 included Abraham Lucas, Masses (sic. Marcy) Lucas, Michael Mann, Sally Copeland, Mellisant Hoblet, Barber Hoblet, David Hoblet, John Hoblet, William Copeland, John Turner, Solomon Wood, Joseph Lucas, Peter P. Lucas, Thomas Lucas, and John Lucas." Lucas, Mann, Copeland, Turner and Wood ended up in Mt. Pulaski. Are these Hoblets the Hoblits who ended up in the Atlanta area? D39 refers to History of Greene County, OH. C9 refers to Caesars Creek Baptist Church records, Jamestown, Green County, OH. Research by John Vallentine.
