One account suggests that he was born in 1833.[161]
He served as Secretery of Bethel Church from 02 Dec 1878-1888,1896-1899; he
then transferred to the Jamestown Church;[194]
"Methodist Church, South,--The Bethel Methodist Church four miles east of
Jamestown, the first Methodist Church inthe county, dates back to 1840.
Among the early preachers were Mr. Wilbur, Thomas Wallace, [Mr.] Payne,
[Mr.] Thatcher, Daniel Leaper, John Gray, J. Monroe and Ben Donaldson. The
old building stood on Section 2, Township 46, Range 14, until five years
ago, when the site was changes to Section 28, on Bruce's Landing road.
James Miller Jr., and other trustees of the Bethel meeting-house, were
given a deed for two acres of land, by the administrators of James Miller's
estate, in August, 1846.
"The denomination built a church at Jamestown in 1889. There is a
building owned by the church on the southeast corner of Section 11,
Township 47, Range 15, while two miles above the mouth of Petit Saline, on
Section 25, Township 48, Range 15, is another building.
"Throughout the county several classes of Methodist Church, South, are to
be found, but the ante-bellum records, and in most instances the modern
books, are in such shape as to be almost useless for historical
purposes."[328]
