Welcome to Pisgah Cumberland Presbyterian Church
Records
Pisgah Cumberland Presbyterian Church
Records
Information about these records and many thanks to Shirley for
sending them to be posted to Gallatian CO IL page
- I have had a time trying to get these records to you. I did
manage to copy
most of the pages to send, but several would not copy
right.
- You will note that some
pages end rather odd and continue on to the next page.... this
is the way
the original pages were written, so I have left them that way to
be able to
find my way around more easily.
- Where it was impossible to read, I left lines. I also
copied every word as
it was written, so if there is some misspelled words, it is the
way it was
originally written.
- Oh yes, these records are from Gallatin County.The church
was located near
Gibsonia near the Hardin co. line. And also..... several
years ago, I submitted these
records to the "Saga" of Illinois. So if you have access to
those back
issues... they are there.
- There is no picture of
the church. As you can see by the dates in the records...
1833-1847, the
church existed before photography was available in those parts
- We tried
to locate the foundation to no avail. The original records are
crumbling, and we felt very privledged
to have been able to have a copy.
- I have also sent
a copy to the
Cumberland Presbyterian Organization for their records. (I
found the
organization still exists via the Internet)
Best Wishes,
Shirley
