Research Notes: Dick & Butcher Families, Part 4

***Note: I followed the trail of David Dick and his wife, Emily Spurlock, of Wayne County for quite a while before I found a record proving that David was NOT the son of Joseph Dick and Eleanor Butcher. It turns out that David Dick’s parents were actually David Dick and Nancy Dickson or Dixon. I do believe that it is very likely that David Dick was a relative of my Dick ancestors (maybe Joseph Dick and David Dick Sr. were brothers???), but have not yet been able to prove it. So I have not entirely discarded my research on this family – just set it aside in hopes of making the connection in the future. (As I am posting my research notes in the order that I came across the records, the record that gave the names of David Dick’s parents is not shown in this post, but will be listed in one of my later posts).

Mud River Baptist Church

“This is the oldest church in the Guyandotte Association of Baptist Churches. The typical church on the frontier began in homes. Later a log structure was built with crude benches for the congregation. This one room structure with stone chimney was used once a week.
A picture of the 1841 building shows two doors, one for the men and one for the women. Men traditionally sat on the left side and women on the right. Traditionally they were served communion from different cups as well!
Two County Court record books corroborate the organization of the Mud River Baptist Church in 1807. Also from the Court records: “The Baptist Society of Mud River, May 5, 1821, John Dundas, Thomas Dundas, and Henry T. Dundas, consideration of 1.00, adjoining the the plantation formally in the occupancy of Col. John Everett, and at the present occupied by said society as a church lot and burial ground…..Beginning on the South side of the main road containing an acre to have and to hold said piece or parcel of ground unto the said Baptist Society of Mud River and their successors forever.”
The 1807 church covenant, in part, states; “The Baptist covenant of a number of members….a home God hath fixed our habitation on Mud River and Guyandotte and adjacent parts an arm of the Valley church with full consent of their body have assembled with out assistant elders and helps from our sister churches.”
