This church was established August 24, 1839 by 7 people
(Samuel B. West, his wife, Nancy; Jacob Bearden, his wife, Winey; Wm. Kimzey,
his wife, Rebecca; John Pettit), while some Indians remained in this area.
First officers were: Able Miles, pastor; J.D. Chastain, clerk; Robert
Kincaid, treasurer; Samuel B. West, deacon. Attendance was stressed. At each
service the clerk called the roll and any absence was checked carefully for
cause. Among early pastors were Able Miles, Samuel B. West, William Kimzey,
J.D. Chastain, James Adams, Jacob Cantrell, D. Blythe, and R. Jordan.
