Is there anyone on the list that is familiar with early Methodist Episcopal Church records in Richland County? My 4th great-grandfather, Samuel VIRTUE, and his family were in Washington Twp. from about 1818 until 1839. Can anyone tell me where I might find M.E. Church records for that time period? I am especially anxious to find the death date and burial place of Samuel's first wife, Elizabeth (nee FREEBORN). She died sometime between the 1830 census and Samuel's marriage to wife #2 (Sarah JAMES) on 19 March 1839. Thanks ever so much for your help and suggestions. Sydney Stephens Washougal, WA
