A granddaughter of William Stamps, Sidonia Athelia [Kathryn] Stamps, made several of the notes which appear in the records of Bethany Baptist Church. Towards the back of the church records are several pages of names, which she apparently copied from the records. These church records contain many death records, usually giving only the month and the year. There are no marriage records, though the names of married couples are frequently given. There are no birth records, or records of baptisms. For further information of the Stamps Family or related lines, please contact: William T. Stamps; 1180 East Wattles; Troy, Michigan. =========START OF RECORDS============ MISSISSIPPI, LAWRENCE COUNTY The church met at Whitesand, an arm of Silver Creek Church, which arm is called by the name of Zone and said church, agree when ever they want discipline to call for the Word of God, which we take for our guide. Wm. Nall, Clerk (Eddie note - I have looked at the handwritting everyway I can, the best I can make is the word "Zone", not Zion...?)
