Does a German Presbyterian church or a Mud Brook Church ring any bells? Marriage records from Stark County from an 1833 marriage and an 1855 marriage show a Rev. John Hamm of the German Presbyterian church of Franklin Twp., performed the marriages. Does anyone know where this church was located, or if any of the records of the church are still around? (Franklin Twp. was absorbed by Summit Co., but both marriages were recorded in Stark County.) Or does anyone know if this was the same as the Mud Brook Church in Jackson Twp.? From an 1854 issue of the Stark County Democrat: "On the east side of the [Tuscarawas] river, the German Reformed, and Lutheran persuasions, were the most common. They had no church, but attended the ministrations of Father Wier and Faust, at Mud Brook church, in Jackson Township." An old book on Stark County stated "1834. German Reformed and Lutherans built Mud brook Church. Slanker, Click, Braucher, Tresch, Humber, Everart & Heldenbrand [were members.] " I have also discovered that there was a Mud Creek cemetery, and have posted a question about that already, but nobody seems to know anything about it. Does anyone know if that cemetery was ever transcribed or is still around? On the current map of Stark County I notice there is still a Mud Brook road in existence, and this might help those of you who live in the area "place" this church and cemetery. The map I have does not show any cemetery along this road, and I wonder if it was replaced by a golf course or something... Richard
