    1. [TNCHEATH-L] Bethel Church, Albright,Simmons
    2. Does anyone have any information about the following? The 1876 "Minutes of Thirty Third Annual Convention of Free Will Baptist " list a Church named 'Bethel FWB in Dickson County. J. M Albright and W. B. Simmons are listed as delegates. There was a totol of 39 members were in the Church. Was there really a Dickson Co. "Bethel" Free Will Baptist Church. In the same minute the address' of two ministers were: "Rev. E E Collison, Charlote, Dickson County, Tennessee and Rev. J. A. Allbright, Danialsville, Dickson County,Tennessee." (A Rev J. Davis,and G W Carney, Ashand City; W. H. Head, Pleasant View; were the ministers listed from Cheatham Co.) I have previously written a history of the Bethel Free Will Baptist Church in Cheatham Co and since finding this Association Minute am wondering if these two Bethel Churchs are connected in some way. The Albright and Simmons names are West Cheatham names (then and today) A Bethel Church is listed in later minutes which is obviously Cheatham Co Bethel but never is there two Bethels listed at the same time. There are several missing minutes for many years of this Association, so I can't make a determination based solely on them. Does anyone hane any information on the Revs. Allbright or Collison, anything about Bethel Church, or about Danialsville? The Cumberland Association of Free Will Baptist included Dickson, Cheatham,Stewert, Montgomery, Davidson, Houston, and some counties in Kentucky during this time (and still for the most part today) Any help that someone might have would be appreciated. Thanks Jerry
