ROCK MOUNTAIN ASSOCIATION.

  This body takes its name from the Rock Mountain, in DeKalb county, in which
several of the churches are located. The churches withdrew from the Yellow River
Association principally on account of her treatment of Monroe church, and her
adoption of the non-fellowship resolutions. That venerable man of God, Luke
Robinson, may be regarded as the most active in gathering them into a separate
connection. In July, 1839, ten churches met in council and agreed to form an
Association. In October following, the body was organized at Macedonia church,
DeKalb county. Two other churches join, viz.: Cool Spring and Long Shoal.
Visiting members present, and aiding in the constitution: C. D. Mallary, T.
Phillips and Joshua S. Callaway. George Daniel, moderator, and E. Henderson,
clerk. Correspondence is opened with some eight or ten Associations.

  In 1840, the session is at Salem, Newton county. Four other churches unite.
Messengers from the Sarepta, Appalachee, Central, Georgia, Flint River and
Chattahoochee Associations are received. Chambliss, Hendricks and Wilkes preach
on the Sabbath.
