In November 1796, Elder Patrick Mooney organized the first Baptist church in Sumner County. Members joined with four other Baptist churches to form the Mero District Baptist Association. In 1800, William Phipps donated one-half acre of land to the congregation and the church became known as Phipps Meeting House. The Leggett family gave additional land in the 1830s. The church remained along West Station Camp Creek until 1846, when the building was moved to the present location due to flooding. In 1867, it was known as the United Baptist Church of Christ at Station Camp.

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.

For example, one family's tree showed the Articles of Confederation marker in Pennsylvania standing under a mile from where William Gabby lived in the 1760s.

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