New Bethel Baptist Church (formerly White's Creek) was organized in 1794 six miles north of Nashville on White's Creek Pike, through the labors of Daniel Brown, Joshua White, Nathan Arnett and Patrick Mooney. It was moved to Dickerson Road in 1837 and the name changed to New Bethel in 1854. It was one of five churches in the organization of Mero District Association, the first one in Middle Tennessee, organized in 1796.

Maps this old were drawn largely by eye, so places on them can sit miles from where they really are. The pin is ours and marks the marker's location today.

What that marker records spans 1777 to 1789, overlapping William Gabby's years there.
