Ann, thanks for the offer to do lookups in the Maple Hill Baptist Church records. I'd appreciate it if you'd look for Peck, Alexander and Kennedy records. Juliet (Peck) Kennedy was active in the Phoenix Baptist Church near Pleasant Mount, but that church disbanded in 1897 and members united with other churches, most of them going to the Maple Grove Church in Mount Pleasant Township. Since Juliet Kennedy and her family moved to Deposit in 1906-7, it's possible she joined Maple Hill Baptist. If anything turns up about the Phoenix Baptist Church records, please let me know. I've already searched the records at the WCHS library--unless there's been something new added in the last two years. Thanks for all the good work you do.

Teddy, Nothing on Peck, Alexander or Kennedy. The Maple Hill church had probably closed down by 1905-06, but the Baptist Church in Deposit might have the records.
