My Hamilton family moved to Bates Co., Missouri around 1867. They attended Bethal PResbyterian Church at Spy Mound and later moved their membership from Richland to Mulberry Church. I am interested in finding more about this history of these churches as well as the communities where they were located. Any sources that I could check will be greatly appreciated, I am also interested in purchasing books about the history of this area during the period 1865 - 1890 particularly. Thank you for your kind assistance. Melissa mazTN@aol.com
