Named for Cypress Creek and at other times called Davis for the pioneer Davis family, ancestors of the Emerson family of Somerville, this church stood in the Center Point community on land owned now (1996) by James H. Shelton, great-great-grandson of Samuel H. Wiggins. In 1834, Wiggins deeded the church to trustees John Davis, Samuel N. Simpson, Andrew Davis, and the Rev. Henry W. Sale. The church became inactive when its members moved to Belmont and Braden.

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.
