		HIWASSEE BAPTIST ASSOCIATION MINUTES

				1863

(Extracted from the 1864 Minutes)


"A portion of the delegates of the Hiwassee Baptist Association 
convened at Pisgah, Meigs County, Tenn., Friday before the fourth 
Saturday in September, 1863, and  read letters from the following 
churches: Zion, Jonathan Chastain; Pisgah, M.E. Jones, H. Gibson, G.P. 
Owens, Jno. Huff, J.N. Davis; Concord, G. Ragland; Cave Creek, Stephen 
Mathews; Poplar Spring, H.W. Fritts, James Johnson; Short Creek, M. 
Zeiglar; and after consultation it was thought best, under existing 
circumstances, not to organize or attempt to do further business than to 
appoint our next annual meeting at Zion Meeting House, Rhea County, 
Tenn., commencing on Friday before the 4th Saturday in September, 1864, 
and notify the different churches of our Association of that fact, and 
Brother M.E. Jones to inform Fellowship, Hinds Valley, Grassy Cove, 
Sequatchie, Shilo, Paint Rock, Pleasant Hill, Hickory Creek, Smyrna, 
Little Emery, Beach Fork, and Mountain Fork.  M.E. Jones to act as 
clerk, and reduce this to writing, to be presented to our next 
Association."
