I came across these minutes from Cathey's Creek Church (I must have copied them from the Archives in Sept.) Linda Raxter suggested that I sent it to the Mail List. It must be a copy of a copy because it is really difficult to read. This is what I can read: State of North Carolina Henderson County April 1842 We The Brethren and Sisters who are living On The Easte Fork of the French broad River who are Members of Catheys Creek Church and who request privilledge to become an arme of Said Church which request was granted whose names are here subscribed and Brother Robt (Torden, Forden, Torsten?) does agree to be our supply as Moderator. (Following are 19 names, 11 of them Gillespies, some of which I recognize as my ancestors and relatives, some of them illegible. This is what I can make out.) Wm Gillespie John Kennemur Milberry Gillespie Sary Kennemur Wm H Gillespie Sary Gillespie Jackson Gillespie John Gillespie Susanna Gillespie Elizabeth Huff (?) Rebaca Gillespie Flora ? Roft A Gillespie Jethuan ? Sary Gillespie Jeane Whitmire ? Gillespie Joseph Glazner Lucinda Glazner The rest of the minutes are mostly illegible, can only make out a word here and there. IF any of you have a copy of this that is more legible or if you recognize any of these people, I would like to hear from you. Also, I am wondering, is there still a Cathey's Creek Baptist Church. Did it become East Fork Baptist Church? I had always thought my Gillespies were members of East Fork Baptist Church. The trial of William Galloway and Hannah Powellwas at East Fork Baptist Church (I don't have the date in front of me) and a Sary Gillespie and Jane Whitmire were "churched" for fussing with each other.
