Nell, Going through the minutes of Eel River association I have (which is only a few), this morning, I entered into my database more of the names of messengers from the various churches. I noticed that there was a B. Bastin from Mill Creek church in Putnam Co. You are probably aware already but thought I would mention it. Also, the eleven members dismissed by letter in March 1830 became members of the Mill Creek church in Putnam Co. which was evidently organized at that time. Also noticed a Joe Allee who was a minister at Deer Creek at one point in time (later). (I mention this for the sake of Hazel Allee Burns). Also found C. Buis in Mill Creek church, besides Deer Creek. Thanks to Sharon Bryant for the obit for Mr. Hurst. Sincerely, Robert On Thu, 25 Aug 2005 10:45:35 EDT [email protected] writes: Robert: I am the one who transcribed the Deer Creek Baptist records and I transcribed everything I received. Dora Mae Turner, the dear lady who passed these documents on to me, does not recall where they came from. The following is an excerpt from one of Dora Mae's latest e-mail messages: "I've had those minutes for so long, I honestly can't remember who sent them to me, but imagine it was Carolyn Yancey (Little) Kent who lives in AR. She had done much research years ago and shared it with me." Robert, since my early relatives seem to have all been Baptists, I am very interested in your web site. My 3rd g. grandparents Thomas and Hannah Brockman Bastin were members of the Lick Fork Baptist Church of Rockingham County, N.C. c. 1790/1817. I have a few excerpts from the minutes of that church which I will be glad to share if you are interested. My great grandparents James and Catherine Keith Langwill were members of the Omaha Baptist Church in Omaha, Arkansas, for about 30 years prior to the death of James in 1915. I have quite a lot of those records and I found that my Langwell family usually was in some kind of trouble with the church. Always had a committee going out there to straighten them out. There is a lot more info in the Arkansas church records than those of the church in Indiana or the one in N.C. although there are some interesting tidbits in the N.C. minutes. Again, my relatives acting out. Nell Langwell Gronberg
