Hill's 1881 "History of Knox County, Ohio" says the following abt churches located in Pleasant Twp: "Pleasant Hill Christian church was organized at Pleasant grove on the Mt. Vernon and Martinsburgh road, by Rev. Isaac N. Walter, September 24, 1832. (Then lists original members and some history of the church.) "In 1854 a new frame church was built near W.T. Hyatt's, and the name changed from Pleasant grove to Pleasant hill. (Lists some early members.) No regular services are held at this time. (1881) "St. John's Evangelical Lutheran church.-As early as 1820 Rev. Jacob Bovee preached in the neighborhood. ...but no church was organized until June 4, 1853, when Rev. William M. Gilbreath preached at Crawford's school-house on the Martinsburgh road. "In 1854 a subscription was taken up to build a church, and Benjamin Kerr appointed treasurer. (Some history and members given.) "Pleasant Hill Presbyterian church was the result of the labors of Rev. Henry Hervey, who preached a number of years in the southern portion of Pleasant township. The date of the first organization is not positively known, but may be set down as about 1845. (Original members listed.) In 1850 a neat frame church thirty-five by forty feet was built on the Martinsburgh road, about one mile from the south line of the township, which is still used by the congregation as a house of worship. (1881) "Hopewell Methodist Episcopal church is situated on the East Union road, one mile west of the east line of the township. Its history cannot be obtained. The following facts are all that can be ascertained in reference to it. The present structure... was built under the auspiced of Rev. Allen Moffat, in 1855. The present number of members is forty-three. (1881) "To each of the above churches a cemetery is attached, the date of the establishment of which is coeval with the building of the churches.
