I am looking for any information on the Couparle Methodist Church on Rocky Hill Road, founded by ex-slaves after the Civil War. I would like to know when the Church was established, who the original Deacons and Elders were, early members and any other historical information. Is the Church still open. Next the Church is a cemetery where many members of the families of Ruffin, Sallie, Jane, Dru/Drew/ Elick/Alex and Heyward are buried. Information would be most appreciated. Judy
