I found this book at a flea market in Memphis, TN; several pages are
missing, not all pages are complete, not all lines are complete & some
lines are illegible. The book is from CLAUNCH'S CHAPEL, White River
Conference, and lists Pastors, Members, Baptisms,some marriages & some
dispositions (died, moved, removed,etc)
The information that I will list will include every item in the book,
and will be listed in segments as I have a few minutes. If anyone finds
a family connection, email me privately at the address below & I'll TRY
to copy the page for you.
Apparently the book was last in the possion of Will WRIGHT, Buffalo
Lick, Poinsett Co., since his name is penciled in the front inside
cover, along with Lizzie WRIGHT. Following are the Pastors listed on
the Register of Pastors page: The date indicates the date of
appointment.
