OCMULGEE (JUNIOR) ASSOCIATION.

  As the small party which left the Ocmulgee Association in 1839 claims to be
the true and original body, we use the word junior merely to distinguish between
the two. This body assembled, it is presumed, for its second meeting, at Elim,
in Jones county, the llth September, 1840. T. D. Oxford preached the
introductory sermon, was moderator, preached on the Sabbath— indeed, was the
only minister belonging to the concern. Letters from three churches were
read—two others join—five churches in all. Four baptized, nineteen excluded,
forty-one dismissed, one minister, and three hundred and nineteen members. The
body has no correspondence with other Associations, and very little is known of
its history of late years.
