He was married to Virginia Barlow in 1911 in Wichita Co. TX. Does anybody have additional information? Thank you, Judy

Where is this church located?

I am currently typing the old Clear Creek Church (Missionary Baptist) Minutes from 1828 - 1874. Does nayone know anything about this church or the Clear Creek Primitive Baptist Church? David Horn gave some land to the Clear Creek Church of the Baptist order in 1869. This was made to the deacons Jacob Jackson and Reuben Jackson. Jacob Jackson stayed with the Primitive Baptist when the church split in 1841-1842. I have tried (in vain) to find what happened to this church after 1869. The deed said it was on the Purdy/ Monteray Rd. I suspect it was before you get to Stantonville since Clear Creek is north of Stantonville. If anyone knows something, please let me know.
