Paul and Listers: A booklet called A BICENTENNIAL 1775-1975 FORKS OF CHEAT BAPTIST CHURCH compiled by the church Historical Committee begins: The Forks of Cheat Baptist Church constituted Nov. 5, 1775 by Elder John Corbley, who was chosen pastor. Consisting of twelve members, namely: Samuel Lewellyn (chosen elder), John McFarland (chosen deacon), Thomas Mills, Thomas Evans, Joseph Boltinghouse, Hannah Lewellyn, Sarah McFarland, Martha Mills, Catharine Evans, Elizabeth Jackson...(no Stewarts) Elsewhere, The land for the first church was part of an original patent grant to Thomas Evans assigned by a Galleway in 1784. 1784 was the year the first patents came out on land by the governor of Virginia. The land was sold by Evans to Robert Stewart. Robert Stewart and Catherine, his wife, sold the land to the church for $5.00 on Sept.10, 1806... I don't know where/if the book is currently being sold. No doubt you could find it in the Morgantown libraries. The oldest Stewart (with marker found) was Elizabeth Stewart, 1799-7-20-1883, 84y, 5m, 27d. The cemetery listing is included in UNION DISTRICT CEMETERIES, MONONGALIA CO., WV by Marion County Genelogical Club, 321 Monroe St., Fairmont WV 26554.

There was a Hopewell Baptist church in Clarksburg in the late 1700s founded by Daniel Davisson. It was at the corner of present day Chestnut and Main Streets. The cemetery is still there but is now called the Daniel Davisson Cemetery.

Hi Emolene, My 3rd Gr-Grandfather Godfrey Guseman had a daughter Mary. She married James Kern 10/25/1820. Would he be any of yours? If so, would like to hear from you @ [email protected] Thanks, Michael Shannon

Betty, I'm looking for connections to the Guseman family. My Gr-Gr-Gr-Grandfather Godfrey Guseman's dau., Mary married James Kern on 10/25/1820. I had hoped to turn up information on Godfrey by checking the Kerns Family. This is all I have on them, so it's a long shot, but one never knows where data will turn up. Mike

It seems like I saw a charter and some cemetery information >on one of the W.P.A. Historical Records Survey microfilms, available from >the LDS. Hi, Brian, and Paul, Yes, Brian, it was Rev. Corbly. He was the minister for this church long before he also became the minister of Goshen Baptist in Greene County, which was started by Rev. James Sutton in 1776. However, it was Corbly who lost his family to an Indian massacre while serving at Goshen. Samuel Wiley, in his History of Mon. Co. writes on p. 440 that Rev. John Corbly organized this church on November 5, 1775. Quoting from Wiley: "The church consisted of twelve members, and was organized near Stearttown. It was the first church in the county, and the first one organized west of the Alleghany Mountains in Virginia. Mr. Corbly and others were dismissed by letter in September, 1775, from the Great Bethel Church at Uniontown, Penn., to form the Forks of Cheat Church." On p.685. Wiley writes that the record of the church's establishment was in possession of Lancelot John circa 1883. Wiley reports that the names of the 12 were: Sam. Lewellen John McFarland Thos. Mills Thos. Evans Joseph Botinghouse Hannah Lewellen Susannah McFarland Martha Mills Catharine Evans Elizabeth Jackson Wm. John and ________ _________ Further, on p. 686, Wiley writes: "In 1778, Rachel Pindall, Dawson and Mrs. Dawson, Massie Kazad, David Scott and Stephen Hardin became members; 1781, Owen Davis, William John, William Stewart, Philip Rogers, Sarah Bowen, Letitia Davis, Jacob Jacobs, Ann Teabaugh and Hannah Jacobs joined; 1782, Charles Bennet, Richard Cain, Jane Cain, James John, Mary John, Elizabeth Stewart and Elizabeth Scott were added to the church." Later on that same page: "In 1803, William John, Samuel Bowen, Richard Cain and John McFarland agreed to hew the logs for a new church . . . . " Then in a footnote on that page, Wiley writes circa 1883 that the records of the church were in the possession of D. M. Hertzog, at Uniontown. In these records he has found that in October 1772, Hannah Lewellen, Martha Mills, Thomas Mills, Richard Cain and Jane Cain were received by baptism into this church. This D.M. Hertzog may have been David Morgan Hertzog; a W.G. Hertzog was the minister there in 1859-1861, after having served at Mt. Moriah in Fayette Co. Sorry, Paul, but I've no idea where these records are now. Regards, Jane [email protected]

Barbara, There was a Hopewell Quaker Meeting House outside of Perryopolis, Perry Twp., Fayette County and I've also note that there was one established in Frederick Co., VA circa 1732 so perhaps as members of that church moved west they carried the name with them. I believe that some did become Baptists. I don't recall seeing any mention, however, of a Hopewell Baptist church in Monongalia or Harrison Counties. Perhaps someone else knows of one.
