Due to kindness of Brenda Fiddler answering my letter to her about a variety of topics, I now know more about PROSPECT CHURCH. According to Brenda's email, this is the area of Prospect Cemetery, near Black Bottom Road See page 187 of W.V. Barry's Lexington Progress, editor Brenda Fiddler for those who own this book and for those who don't see Abstract below. Maybe this will be helpful to some others. By the way, from the sound of her email, I believe Brenda is going to put together another pictorial book of HeCoTn residents. She said people continue to mail her old photographs. Linda ABSTRACT "Lexington Progress" December 30, 1927 Old Prospect Church, built by the Southern Methodists in the old 7th district about six miles Northwest of Lexington, burned to the ground Wednesday morning of last week, catching from the stove flue while MISS RUTH, daughter of ESQ. G. W. STEWART, was teaching therein.  The ancient structure was built 85 years ago <notes: 1927-85 = 1832> . . . . . To cite more figures in connection with old PROSPECT CHURCH, it was built when the late JOHN FESMIRE was eighteen years of age and he was born 1822- - just 105 years ago

Then Amanda Ellen Barker and William Thomas Grissom. Saw a Bible entry of the a Barker that listed Robert Barker and hendrake Barker. In Lexington Library I saw a family file that said Hendrake's wife was mary Widon. In WPA transcripts was listing for a court hearing that said these were his children. I figure Hendrake is really Hendrick. Most Barkers came from NC unless they were born in TN. They moved back and forth or the district changed between Carroll County and Henderson. Mary married A.N. Hodgin by the 1850 census. I believe they had one child. Hendrake and Mary had four sons. William Robert Barker B:1832 Refus Barker B:1834 Samuel Barker B:1836 James Harvey Barker B:1840

Linda.. I don't understand what you are really looking for. I live here in Lexington and I can help if I knew what you were trying to find. The Church/School is gone - burnt down in 1925, so there is no Church to find. David Donahue read the cemetery - so did a couple of other people, it is online. We know the location of where the cemetery and church/school were NORTH on 104.. Right on Black Bottom Road etc. Here is the entire list of who is buried there. http://www.tngenweb.org/records/henderson/cemeteries/prospect2.htm David was a very thorough, precise type of person -- he recorded everything he saw - and described the area. I could probably find it again - but I wouldn't find anything new.. (Not anytime soon though - abandoned cemeteries way out in the woods harbor every snake known to mankind and we seem to have them all here) Chris LFLENT@aol.com wrote: Gene, thank you, re: "Where I found Prospect Church is about 5-6 miles due east of Juno.

We are looking for the graves of eight of our ancestors in this area. My colleague is No. Ca and I am in So. Ca so we have to rely on help from this list and my contacts in Lexington. Even though I was born in Lexington, my family left there when I was about 3 years old so I don't really know the area. Thanks again. Linda, So.

Chris, thanks for the offer, I understand. re: "Well the church/school that was there, won't be there anymore if it burnt down in 1925.. so my going out there to look would not be worthwhile.. and the cemetery is abandoned...   so there would be nothing there to take pictures of anyway.. Chris" I am looking for the location of the Prospect Church that Judge W.H. Denison wrote about in section titled FULLERS, regarding Ephram B. Fuller and his family settling about 1832 "near Prospect Church, north of Lexington." From other sources, it is believed this church was 4 miles north of Lexington. I was curious about Black Bottom Road and what might be in that area today. If this Prospect Church was Methodist, I can probably ask archivist to check Methodist records for me. I was hopeful someone on this list may have had someone buried there and had some stories about the area. Thanks again, Linda, So. CA

Where I found Prospect Church is about 5-6 miles due east of Juno. The Black bottom creek mentioned flows into the northwest branch of Beech Lake.
