Hi all, While writing my notes about the Linville Creek Baptist Church, I realized that some of you would be interested in knowing that there are available records for the Linville Creek's "sister church" at Timberville, which was known as the Smith's Creek Baptist Church. They exist on microfilm at the Library of Virginia in Richmond. I was able to borrow this microfilm on an inter-library loan through my local library. You will need to refer to Accession Number # 20794 and mention, specifically, that it is on microfilm, miscellaneous reel #472. This film covers the time frame of 1779 to 1805. Originally, beginning in 1756, people from Smith's Creek and from Linville Creek had a joint congregation. According to the book "History of Virginia Baptists", a separate Smith's Creek church was formed around 1774-75, from the Linville Creek and the White House Baptist Church (a.k.a. Mill Creek Baptist Church, in what is now Page Co.), with Rev. Anderson Moffett as pastor. I have never seen the complete minutes of the Smith's Creek church in print and I learned a lot about my family by reading this microfilm. It is, mostly, just minutes of the monthly business meetings but those can be useful too. Norman P.S. No, you can't borrow the Linville Creek book, from Richmond, through inter-library loan. I tried.
