Deep Creek Baptist - An old church that was listed in the Flint River Baptist Association Minutes and it states the church was in Fayette County in 1826 and 1827 and then it shows up as being in Campbell County in 1829.  From this page, scroll down to Deep Creek Baptist.  If you look at the actual minute transcription, the Fayette related churches are in blue font so it's easier to find.
