I've been gone for over a week and just caught up on several 'Digest'. First
as instructed let me say HI! Then tell you that I live in Chipley FL, (North
of Panama City, FL. I am new to the list (just a few weeks), and have
enjoyed each report as they come along. My lines in Dickson are few (Hollis)
but my interest is Great. My lines are mostly in Cheatham Co. My lines there
are Hollis, Head, Harris, White, Basford, Whitworth, Galloway, and many allied
families of Cheatham, Montgomery and Robertson Counties. I lived for many
years near the Cumberland River in a community called 'Cheap Hill" and
'Neptune'. I've gathered much information about the West Cheatham area. I
do have a question that someone may have the answer to.

The 1876 "Minutes of Thirty Third Annual Convention of Free Will Baptist "
list a Church named 'Bethel FWB in Dickson County. J. M Albright and W. B.
Simmons are listed as delegates. There was a totol of 39 members in the
Church.
Was there really a Dickson Co. "Bethel" Free Will Baptist Church. In the
same minute the address' of two ministers were: "Rev. E E Collison, Charlote,
Dickson County, Tennessee and Rev. J. A. Allbright, Danialsville, Dickson
County,Tennessee."
I have previously written a history of the Bethel Free Will Baptist Church in
Cheatham Co and since finding this Association Minute am wondering if these
two Bethel Churchs are connected in some way. The Albright and Simmons names
are West Cheatham names (then and today) Does anyone hane any information on
the Revs. Allbright or Collison, anything about Bethel Church, or about
Danialsville? The Cumberland Association of Free Will Baptist included
Dickson, Cheatham,Stewert, Montgomery, Davidson, Houston, and some counties in
Kentucky during this time (and still for the most part today)
Any information that any one has would be appreciated and needed.
Keep up the good work and May God Bless during this Christmas Season.

Jerry Whitworth.
