Does anyone know if the registry for this church is still in existence and, if so, where I can find it? Ann Geoghegan
Ann, I copied this from a website recently, I don't know if it will be helpful, but it includes the address of another source for records, in addition to the Presbyterian archives at Montreat. "The formation of the Presbyterian church in 1800 is attributed to three missionaries: James Hall, William Montgomery, and James Bowman who were sent by the Synod of the Carolinas to preach. The first established Presbyterian church in Mississippi was Bethel at Uniontown in Jefferson County. The Synod of Mississippi was formed in 1835. For information on the synod, see Walter B. Posey, The Presbyterian Church in the Old Southwest, 1778-1838 (Richmond, Va.: John Knox Press, 1952), and "Documentary Material Relating to the Early History of the Presbyterian Church in Mississippi," Journal of the Presbyterian Historical Society 21 (December 1943): 196-200. Some historical records may be found in the Belhaven College, Hood Library, 1500 Peachtree Street, Jackson, Mississippi 39202. There are no restrictions on the use of the materials. Other records may be located through the Historical Foundation of the Presbyterian and Reformed Churches, Assembly Drive, Box 847, Montreat, North Carolina 28757."
