The Church moved into this meeting house about May 1817. However, the 11 March 1845 will and first codicil of [his] son Jehu Wall, as well as a subsequent convenyance of [his] son Charles Jedidiah Wall, indicates that the Church, including the burial site of Howell (to 'be ditched in or So otherwise improved as to secure it from Stock & fire in a neat plan & substantial & durable manner'), was located in the NE1/4 of Sect. 14 of T1N and R5E, on four acres of land given by that son Jehu that is not on Tickfaw River but rather north-northwest of Gillsburg."
