Minutes of the meetings are on file in the Genealogy Section, Carrollton, Georgia Library. On September 24, 1830, Jonathan was appointed to a committee to purchase land for a new meeting house. He was elected as a trustee and as a brothers to assist in laying the new church's foundations on November 27, 1830. According to the minutes, the committee did not get the job done and some harsh (but polite) words were exchanged. The outcome was that the new church, named New Hope, was built east of the town that is now known as Villa Rica, Georgia, near the present-day Atlanta Highway US-78, and the old Pumpkintown Road crossing. The church must not have been completed by February 1, 1834, because church services were held at Jonathan's home. This was the last entry of Jonathan's name in the church meeting minutes."
