MT. NEBO BAPTIST CHURCH, Tangipahoa Parish, Louisiana submitted to the USGenWeb Archives by Gerald Buchanan, Apr. 1998 ************************************************ Copyright. All rights reserved. http://usgwarchives.net/copyright.htm http://usgwarchives.net/la/lafiles.htm ************************************************ Glen Lee Greene's HOUSE UPON A ROCK: ABOUT SOUTHERN BAPTISTS IN LOUISIANA (Shreveport: Executive Board of the Louisana Baptist Convention, 1973) on pages 61-71 gives a brief history of the Mt. Nebo Baptist Church which includes (p 62): State of Louisiana Parish of St. Tammany We the Baptist Church of Christ called Mount Nebo on Big Creek, holding the doctrines of Election, effective calling etc. which Church was constituted on the 31 Jan. 1813 by reverends Ezra Courtney and Howel Wall comprising members 5 Males & one Female, whos names are annexed together with those who have since joined. Greene states (p 62): Forty-five names appear on the following list of charter members: Moll a Black woman John Amacker Sarah Amacker Sarah Bagget Howel Bankston Peter Bankston Rebeckah Bankston Reuben Beavers Rebeckah Dykes John Eady Mary Eady Eli Haden Prissilla Haden Temperance Haden Nancy Harris Narcissa Hogan Tabitha Hogan William Hogan James Hughs Sarah Hughs Sara Joiner Lydda Jorden Shadrach McClendon Jacob Ott Margaret Ott David Robertson Susanna Robertson Tabitha Robertson Sarah Saunders Elijah Self Joseph Self Martha Self William Self Jemima Smith John Tait Martha Tait David Taylor Eby Thomas Taylor Nancy Taylor Phebe Taylor Thomas Taylor Nancy Thomson Sarah Thomson William Thomson Samuel Varnadore These names were taken from the Mount Nebo Baptist Church (Tangipahoa Parish) Minute Book (1813-1903), page 1. The Louisiana Baptist Historical Commission at the Louisiana Baptist Executive Committee in Alexandria has a microfilm copy of these minutes. Of those listed above, William Hogan, his wife Narcissa Hogan, and his mother Tabitha Hogan are my ancestors. I believe Susanna Robertson, wife of Matthew Robertson to be William Hogan's sister. Tabitha Robertson was the daughter of Matthew Robertson and Susanna Hogan; she later married Peter Bankston. The Sarah Saunders MAY be Sarah MIXON Sanders, wife of Cullen Sanders whose son (born ca1813) is said to have married Nancy Hogan, daughter of William. Like many of the others listed here, William Hogan came from GA, having been married there in Washington Co. ===================================
