Two BROWN mentions..... "A History of the Christian Church Maysville Kentucky." Authored by Gayle Anderson Braden and Coralie Jones Runyon Published in 1948 by: The Official Board of the Maysville Christian Church. pg. 45-46 (part of) As early as 1846 the churches of May's Lick, Beasley Creek, Maysville, Mill Creek, Minerva, Cabin Creek, Lawrence Creek, Washington, Germantown, Augusta, and Brooksville had joined in a "Cooperation." The immediate purpose of th eCooperation was to hire an evangelist who could preach periodically in each of the associating churches and who would also spread the gospel in "destitute portions" of the county where there were no churches. Elder William R. Brown was employed as the evangelist in the year 1845-1846. A letter from Mr. Brown gives and insight into the workings of the Cooperation: Frankfort, KY April 15, 1846 Dear Bro. Campbell: My year's labours as an evangelist in the Mason County Cooperation terminated on the 1st of this month. During the year I preached 334 regular discourses and immersed 176 persons.... The brethren cooperating have adopted the principle of "equality" in raising the means to support their evangelists. They have taxed themselves $1200, to be given to two efficient evangelists for the ensuing year. I spent one-fourth of my time within the limits of the cooperation; and the brethren wish to do more abroad this year than they did last... I am under many obligations to the brethren in Mason County Cooperation: the constant society and cooperation of the elders of the churches composing the Cooperation have been of substantial service to me..... part of pg. 52 It is known that Elder Young came to Maysville as early as 1847, for on February 6 of that year there was a notice in the Eagle that he would address the Sunday School teachers of the city; and a few days later the Herald observed that Elder W.M. Brown would assist Elder John Young in a meeting and Waller Small also recorded that Elder Young held a meeting for the May's Lick church during 1847. Also, in a list of agents authorized to receive funds for Bethany College in April, 1847, was the name of Elder J. Young, Mayville, Mason, County, Kentucky.
