Trish Thanks for your rapid response. I erred when I stated I was unable to pull up the site. I was able to reach the site, however, it was when I clicked on Search our Site and entered Kehukee that I received the message mentioned. Danny

To Whom It May Cornern The instructions provided by Trish pertaining to subject matter were followed, however, I was unable to pull up the site. Attempts to do so resulted in the following message: "Unsupported Web Version - This Web page could not be opened.

Hi Trish, I have not looked at these sources but will check them out on my next trip to North Carolina. Thanks for the info. Bea

Hi Mike, I had not attempted to obtain any of the records, not that I would not like to have them, I just have not been to the NC Archives. However, it would be kind of hard to get permission from the Church if it has been inactive since 1979 when the last member died. How could anyone give permission for something that is no longer in existance and has no membership? Good luck Bea

Hi Florence, I really do not know exactly where this Church is located, however, my ancestors that attended there were located on present day Highway 125/930 between downtown Scotland Neck and Hobgood. This is not to say that that is where the Church was, only the part of the county that my ancestors lived. Good luck, Bea

Ann and Bea: I have already traveled the path to gain the old records from this church several months back. I found out from the NC Archives, that they will not make copies of microfilms from the records without consent of the controlling church. I asked both the Archives and Wake Forest who the controlling church presently is, and they told me they did not know. The Archives further told me that probably the only way to see the records, was to visit the Archives to view them. If any information is found on them, then I could have copies made. I also have some acestors which were members of the church, and would like to look at their old records which started me on finding them last year.

Ann and Bea, I believe the minutes referred to were probably the minutes of the Kehukee Association's Quarterly Meetings which were held at various churches in the Kehukee Association's region. There is a bound book of the photocopied minutes in Heritage Place (research room) at Lenoir Community College. It has been a while since I last looked at it, but they were the minutes of the quarterly meetings of the region and did have a lot of information and names in them. I do not remember the earliest dates. I do not remember if there was information specific to Kehukee Church in them, but would imagine that there would be mention of Kehukee Church's delegates to each quarterly meeting. I do not remember that it was called Primitive Baptist, I think it was just Baptist, and cannot tell you all the churches it included. I was looking for Autrey's (Otter's) Creek Primitive Baptist Church and did find it mentioned in the minutes. Perhaps you could e-mail a query to Heritage Place for more information on this. Acording to Chronicles of Pitt County North Carolina, three early churches of Pitt County were in the Kehukee Baptist Association. These were: Red Banks Church (1754/55), Flat Swamp Church, and Great Swamp Church (1795). I also found mention that Rountree Meeting House in southern Pitt County was in the Neuse Association. Other associations mentioned were Toisnot Association of Regular Baptists and Nahunta Association, which merged to become Contentnea Association. Both Contentnea and Kehukee were anti-missionary. Some of the congregations which emerged from anti-missionary churches were due to a difference of opinion on the mission of the Church. One source mentioned is by Biggs (a Martin Co. name), Joseph, "A Concise History of the Kehukee Baptist Association." I am GUESSING that maybe Kehukee Baptist Association accepted in its membership the Baptist churches mainly north of the Tar River. Although Red Banks Primitive Church, originally located north of the Tar, is now located south of the Tar. I am again GUESSING that the early churches may have been called Baptist, and the newer churches emerged from them sometimes with different philosophies, adding distinctive adjectives, such as Missionary Baptist, Free Will Baptist, Pentecostal Baptist, etc., while the old churches were referred to as Primitive (i.e. "first" or "original") Baptist. (Please no quotes on the above, since I am merely guessing.) I have been told that Elon College has a repository for Primitive Baptist Records of North Carolina. You might also try Wake Forest University's Archives. They have a good search engine. - Trish >From: Slowm@aol.com >Date: Sun, 6 Feb 2000 13:21:14 EST >Subject: Re: [NCHALIFA] Kehukee Baptist Church >To: NCHALIFA-L@rootsweb.com > >Hello Ann, I apologize for being so long in responding to your query re: >Kehukee Baptist Church in Halifax Co NC. >I also have an ancestor who attended this church and in 1995 I wrote to the >church inquiring about their records.

Hello Ann, I apologize for being so long in responding to your query re: Kehukee Baptist Church in Halifax Co NC. I also have an ancestor who attended this church and in 1995 I wrote to the church inquiring about their records. It seems that there is also a KEHUKIE Baptist Church which has a black congregation. My letter went to them and a member of that Church gave it to Mr. Wilbur Weeks who was the caretaker at the time. Mr. Weeks gave it to Mr. Charlie Dunn Alston who responded to me. Mr. Alston is affliated with the Halifax Co Genealogical Society and you may wish to contact him. However, in his letter, he stated that the last member of the Church died in 1979 and it has been inactive since them. For a while there were yearly meetings for relatives and friends of members but they have also died out except Mr. Weeks and he was in poor health. Mr. Alston also said that the minutes of the church's quarterly meetings from about 1859 (when the church was reorganized) until the last member died in 1979 are on microfilm in the North Carolina Archives. He said sometimes an obit was written and placed in the minutes, sometimes not. He also referred to it as Primitive Baptist Church. He said the minutes are not indexed so be prepared to spend some time. You can contact Mr. Alston through the Halifax Co Genealogical Society. Hope this helps.

I am searching for John L Taylor who lived in NC, Halifax County in 1834. He was listed in the will of Sarah Thrower in that county during that year.

Hi Ann, I don't know if any early records are available, but there is a short reference to the "Kehukee primitive Baptist Church" in the North Carolina Southern Baptist Collection at Wake Forest University. You can go to the home page of the collection at: http://www.wfu.edu/Library/baptist/ The search page for church records is at: http://erl.wfu.edu/RIS/RISWEB.isa This is where I found the following: "KEHUKEE PRIMITIVE BAPTIST CHURCH (1742).
