Re: Mt. Zion Church in New Columbus (Ovid) article in Madison County History: The John Mowery (sic) Mowrey and Mary Cromer Mowrey were my great-great-grandparents. Rev. John Basor Cromer was his brother-in-law. John Mowrey married John Baker's sister or daughter Mary after Mary Cromer Mowrey's death. I think the Fillmore or Ewing I am looking for may be in Montgomery Co, Illinois where John Basor Cromer later preached. I am sorry for the confusion. Thank you for the wonderful article! I have been told by family members that John Mowrey donated the land for Mt. Zion church. His old farm is about 1/2 mile west of the church. If anyone knows who to reach about the church records at Mt. Zion, I would be very happy to contact them about the 1800's records! As yet, I have not been able to reach anyone at the church.
