Tracy suggested running this to this lists and should have thought about it myself a month ago. Jean has been in touch with me and with Francis Hodges who was able to assist her as his grandparents attended Wheat Swamp. Of course, they have Mrs. Holder's History of Wheat Swamp but they are looking for new information. This is one of the oldest churches in Lenoir County in continuous use but because it is on the Greene County line, they have also had members from Greene. If any of you can be of assistance to Jean - pictures, ancestors who were members etc - please contact her privately at [email protected] Thanks Tracy, Thank you for taking time to reply to my email. As I explained to Mr. Samply, our church , Wheat Swamp Christian will celebrate 250 years of continous ministry at our annual homecoming services in October. Being selected, or drafted --not sure which, to head up the anniversary committe, I am of course interested in being sure this great event is celebrated properly. Our plans thus far, include several special gatherings of the congregation prior to Homecoming Sunday, and then the final celebration on Homecoming Sunday. We hope to be able to have several items of interest for the members, one of which to be a Historical booklet. I have been trying to collect items to be included in the booklet, but as I have found, people are very slow to share their photos as well as any other items (memories, articles etc) related to the church. I do have a few things but its been very hard. Of course I would be delighted with anything you would be willing to share. You stated you are a part of the Hill Family, We currently have several Hill's that are attending the church, so I am not sure who your relatives might be, please let me know and certainly if I have any information you would be interested in, I will be glad to share. Thanks for your interest and offer of help for I certainly need all the help I can get, This is all new to me and being honest, I have no idea where to search. I have gotten several items off the internet, been to the library, a few pictures from the congregation and a few articles from books but do not have nearly enough to make our booklet a success. I am very excited over an offer of help so therefore look forward to your reply. Jean Gardner
