In 1845 worship services were first held in a brush arbor two miles northeast of this location. The first church building was erected near this site in 1868 and used until 1905. J. E. Watkins deeded an acre of land to the church in 1905 and construction began on the new building. Completed in 1907, timber and foundation rocks from the old building were moved to this site and used in the existing edifice.

Example

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.
