My Great Great Grandfather was Rev. Samuel V. Lee. He was a Preacher at Beaver Baptist in Harrison County. He went over to Mayslick to hear Campbell Preach and soon after got involved in the reform movement of Stone and Campbell. He Preached at a number of Christian Churches in Mason County and help to organize the Fern Leaf Church. It is now called Highland Christian Church. Originally it was a Disciples as was the Dover Christian Church. He preached at Germantown, Augusta, and many others. He was dismissed from Beaver Baptist for Preaching to other Denominations. In 1831 he and group of Baptist Preachers met at Silas Church in Bourbon County and broke away from the Baptist. He is buried at Republican Christian Church in Harrison County. In a 68 year ministry Elder SV Lee help to organize 45 Churches in Kentucky, 1 in Indiana and 1 at Hematite, Missouri. Most were the Disciples or New Lights. Don Lee

Thanks, Mr. Lee. I wasn't sure about Highland Christian's origins. It has moved a few times, but is still in Fern Leaf, although it used to be a few miles down the road in Highland Heights (not the one in Campbell County), a small community between Fern Leaf and Moransburg on the Germantown Road. Although Highland is no longer associated with the Disciples, I'm not sure whether Dover Christian is or not; I think it was still affiliated with the Disciples when I was a teenager. By the way, there are quite a few members of the Lee family from Lewisburg (the one in Mason County, not the one in Northern KY, nor the one in Western KY) still affiliated with the First Christian Church (Disciples of Christ) in Maysville.
