Mountain Creek Baptist Church Membership Records Harris County, GA MOUNTAIN CREEK BAPTIST CHURCH, HARRIS COUNTY, GA (1829-1856) This church was constituted on 20 Feb 1829 at a meeting in the home of J.W. Cooper and agreed to hold meetings in an existing building on lot 282, north side of the Mill near Mountain Creek. On 25 March 1836 the church reported to its members that it had been invited to move to Whitesville, but decided to erect its meeting house on its existing lot. The move to Whitesville did not take place until nearly two decades later, on 25 August 1855. Abbreviations: R - received in membership by letter (from another Baptist church) or experience (attending and being accepted into membership); Rs - (restored after an absence or after resolution of a disagreement with church members); D - dismissed by letter or other means because of moving to another community or transferring membership to another Baptist, usually after member has already moved; E - excluded: no longer permitted to attend services; Exc- Excommunicated; M - mentioned by name in connection with church functions or activities, including visiting pastors or committeemen from other churches, and sometimes disciplinary matters; Dd - deceased; w - wife of man whose named precedes hers; f - female when sex is not made clear in context; m - male, where not made clear in context; n - Negro slave, usually listed without name or by given name only, and with name of owner in parentheses (). All events following a specific date refer to events that occurred or were recorded in the Churchbook on that date. Those of same surname appearing together are assumed to be of the same family. 1829 20 Feb Purnal Truett R John Truett R Elizabeth Truett R Elizableth Smith R John Hirrel [Harrell?] R John W.
