    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Ci.2ADE/4326.1.1.1.1.1 Message Board Post: First of all their were three Liberty Church of Christ located just about a mile to a mile apiece. No 1 Liberty was first built back in early 1840's and was a sister church of Richland Church in Monroe County. The church was a log cabin and after a while was to small. They moved down the hill where No 2 Liberty was built close to the 1880's a second grave yard was started behind the new church the first couple buried their was Charles and Lucy Hendricks Abram. Alot of the older settlers were buried at the cem. located close to the Number 1 Liberty. The Number 2 Liberty was old and needed alot of repair so the decision to build the Number 3 Liberty came to happen. The Number 2 Liberty did not burn down it was torn down and I have pieces of some the old wood from it. The Number 3 Liberty is just down the road from Number 2 Liberty. The Cem at Number 2 is still being used. I don't believe records were kept by the church but I have start a records of burials and location! s of graves at Number 2 and Number 1 only a list of some due to sandstones used with no names or dates on it. It was destroyed several years ago by the land owner with no trace of anything left. I hope this helps Jim Ed of Hendricksville
