Dear forum members, Due to the interest and efforts of some very fine people, Ruth and Elden Hatcher, two of the three record books of the Big Creek church (mother church of Grand Pier church) have been retrieved and preserved, and thrugh their kindness and generosity, our Library now has them. I have gone through them and entered the names of members into our database, and have entered the surnames on our website along with a sketch history of the church (on the Hardin county page). Among the names of members, are the following which I felt might be of interest to some of you, (this is not a complete list, as there are now about 100 names of members in our database for this church, and the earliest book which is still missing would probably have 50-100 more if it could be found). Elder Charles H. Clay (ordained in August 1829) Christiana, Elizabeth (Betsy), James, and Jenny Cowsert Grace Fulkerson Elder John Hamilton (records indicate he joined in 1818) Eleanor Hamilton George Hamilton Nancy Hamilton Strangemon Modglin William and Sarah Jordan Aaron, Jeremiah, Nancy, and William Neal William and Ann Rondeau Stephen Stilley Carter Scroggins & Phebe Scroggins Abraham, Charles, Clara, Esther, Jacob and Reese Shelby James, Lorenzo, Nancy, and Ransom Womack I'm interested in dates of birth and death for any of these. Elder Robert Webb ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!
