Does anyone have any early (1800's) inforrmation on the Church of the Brethren in Putnam Co. or surrounding areas? I am trying to track an ancestor who was ordained from that denomination, in that area, and send to NC to preach in the 1850's. It would be interesting to know a little about how/why/where the Brethren church got started in Indiana, and it might shed some light on how my ancestor got there in the first place. Any clues would be appreciated. B. Gray
