<DeKalb County 1837-1987> Vol One B by John Martin Smith, published by

page 865. "NEWVILLE UNITED METHODIST CHURCH, located at 7480 SR8,
Newville. The Newville United Brethren Church was organized in 1842 by
Bishop Henry Kumler, Jr. The meeting place was the log home of Mr. and
Mrs Solomon Woodcox, located on the east side of the road about two
miles west of Newville, then called Vienna. There were eleven charter
members, some of whom were as follows: Mr & Mrs Solomon DeLong, Hannah
Robertson, Mr & Mrs Cornelius Woodcox,...." Thus church records may be
beneficial.
