Good morning Jennifer, Here is the information about the three people you inquired about. This comes from the "Woodbury Baptist Church Records, 1888 - 1906" book. ~~~~~~~~~~ HENDERSON, T. Y., (Elder): ** There is a discrepancy between the index of this book and the text of this book. The index shows Elder T. Y. HENDERSON, but the text says the following: "At a meeting held at Woodbury, Cannon County Tennessee by Elder J.M. D. CATES and Elder T. H. HENDERSON on Saturday Oct. 19th, 1844, the Woodbury Baptist Church was organized." ~~~~~~~~~~ MEARS, Sallie: ***There are several entries for Sallie MEARS, some are shown as Sallie, some are shown as Mrs. Sallie MEARS and some are shown as Sallie E. MEARS. The name of Sallie MEARS appears on the following lists of members of the Woodbury Baptist Church: Jan. 1, 1888 as Mrs. Sallie MEARS Jan. 1, 1889 as Mrs. Sallie MEARS Jan. 1, 1890 as Mrs. Sallie MEARS Jan. 1, 1891 as Mrs. Sallie MEARS Jan. 1, 1892 as Mrs. Sallie MEARS Jan. 1, 1893 as Sallie MEARS Jan. 1, 1894 as Sallie MEARS There is no copy of the 1895 list of members in this book. Jan. 1, 1896 as Sallie MEARS There is no copy of the 1897 list of members in this book. Jan. 1, 1898 as Sallie MEARS Jan. 1, 1899 as Sallie E. MEARS There is no copy of the 1900 list of members in this book. Jan. 1, 1901 as Sallie E. MEARS The name of Sallie MEARS appears on the following lists of donors to the Church: Jan. 26, 1889 as Mrs. Sallie MEARS in the amount of $2.00 Jan. 11, 1890 for the year of 1889 as Mrs. Sallie MEARS in the amount of $3.00 Sept. 1, 1894 as Sallie MEARS in the amount of $1.00 Jan. 21, 1899 as Sallie MEARS in the amount of $1.00 ~~~~~~~~~~ MEARS, Sarah: This is interesting to note - These membership lists are in the same order throughout this book with the longest serving members at the top of the list and then the newer members added to the bottom of it. Sallie MEARS appeared between a member of the STEWART family and a member of the KITTRELL family from 1888 through the member lists shown above. The name of Sarah MEARS appears in place of the name of Sallie MEARS, beginning with the membership list of Jan. 1, 1902. The name of Sarah E. MEARS appears on a member list of the Woodbury Baptist Church for the following years: Jan. 1, 1902 as Sarah E. MEARS Jan. 1, 1903 as Sarah E. MEARS Jan. 1, 1904 as Sarah E. MEARS. ****NOTATION**** A notation is made at this point stating that Sarah E. MEARS died on May 27, 1904. ~~~~~~~~~~ We hope this information is new and helpful to you, as well as a little exciting, also! Thanks for being part of the ROOTWALKER family. God Bless America!
