BRUSH CREEK
Brush Creek Church was constituted in the year 1791, on Pitman's Creek near the residence of C. C. Mooris, and in 1796 was removed to near its present location, where the congregation worshiped in a log house until about th eyear 1833. The records of the church from 1791 until 1846, were all destroyed in a fire. It is believed that Elder William Graham, and his son Elder Jonathan Graham, Cassandra Graham, wife of Jonathan Graham, and Edward Lewis were members of the church and went into the organization. The pastors, as far as could be determined, were Elders Benjamin Lynn, Jonathan Graham, William Matthews (until 1804), Thomas Whitman, Johnson Graham, John Miller, and others.
TRAMMEL'S CREEK
Trammel's Creek Church was constituted by Elder Elijah Summers, in about 1797. It appears Elder Elijah Summers was the firt pastor, but was followed by Elder Thomas Skaggs in about 1802, when Elder Skaggs, Jonathan Latham, Benjamin Bayless as messengers to the Green River Association that year. In 1804 Trammel Creek Church united with the newly formed Russell Creek Association. Some of the early names of members of Trammel's Creek Church were Elijah Summers, Jonathan Latham, Charles Harper, Thomas Skaggs, Benjamin Bayless, William Radcliff, John Smith, Elder Jacob Gum, John Slinker, James Forbis, J.
