Marge, The minutes I have are for 1884 and 1885. I think Wolf Creek church must have been near Ironton, at least that is the address of the pastor, R. S. Banks. S. Bond also a member. Names of people (members) from the church called Leatherwood which are shown include J. B. Belmar (the pastor), I. Sutton, C. C. Lashley, and L. Ashlock. No clues as to the location except the county is stated to be Iron.

The History of SE MO by Douglass does mention Locust Grove church, but just a mention: Page 475: In 1858, the Concord Association met at Pilgrims Rest church (my hubbys gr gr grandpa went to this church) and received the following new churches: New Prospect, Pleasant Exchange (Ellis Campbell switched to this church), Mount Gilead and Sugar Tree Grove. The ministers at this meeting were Isaac Lane, R. Seal and E. Warren; Isaac Lane was moderator again ant Thomas Dickson was chosen clerk. The next year's meeting met at Big Creek church in Iron county, one other organization was added, this being Highland church. The third annual meeting was with Bethlehem church in Reynolds county in 1870. At this time there were nly 6 churches in the association, but the next year, 1871, Denning Chapel, Pleasant Valley, LOCUST GROVE, White Oak Grove, Black Oak Grove and Friendship churches were received. The meeting was held at Pleasant Exchange in Reynolds county; Samuel S Beard was moderator. In 1874 the association consisted of 16 churches with a membership of 584 and 6 ordained ministers. The territory of these churches is now in Franklin and Reynolds counties (book written in 1912). The association had 21 churches in 1910 with a membership of 1,468. The churches were: Centreville, 95; Dickens Valley, 90; Lesterville, 136; Pine Dale ___; Bethany, 34; Bethlehem, 85; New Hope, 20; Dry Valley, 47; Oak Grove, 71; Redford, 122; Ellington, 149; Lone Cedar, 50; Logan Creek, 54; Roland Hill, 83; Corridon, 12; Van Buren, 68; Cedar Grove, 196; Sinking Creek, 28; Hopewell, 41; West Fork, 47 & Black River __. Bethel Association was continually sending off groups of churches for the establishment of other associations. In 1860 a group of churches in Iron county consisting of Mount Pleasant, BIG CREEK, Pilgrims Rest, White Oak Grove, Sugar Tree Grove, Mount Gilead, Mount Zion & Locust Grove organized an association called Central MO Association. Book says BIG CREEK was the oldest church in the Black River Association...Big Creek formed in May 1845 (remember Iron county did not form until 1857)...about 18 miles south of Fredricktown. The first Church house was built in 1854; the first pastor of the church as Henry McElmurry; he was succeeded by CT Graham, who served as pastor for 22 years. That's all I see in my books, etc... Didn't do a google search...may show something. -----Original Message----- From: moiron-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:moiron-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Robert L Webb Sent: Wednesday, December 06, 2006 4:06 PM To: moiron@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [MOIRON] 19th century churches Marge, The minutes I have are for 1884 and 1885.
