Hi! I'm new to the list and wondered if anyone knows the name of the church
described below and if it is still in existence?
Thanks,

Page 540, Societies of French Lick Township:
A society of the Methodist Episcopal Church was organized at the house of
William Marley, near the French Lick Springs, about the year 1825 by John
Miller, one of the pioneer circuit riders of Orange County. Among the first
members were William Marley, Clayton Taylor, Alexander McGrew with their
wives and families. Joseph McGrew and wife. The first church was a log
structure built some time early in the thirties, but after being used for a
short time was burned down. Another was soon after erected. This was on
the farm now owned by Ross Grigsby. The third church was built about the
year 1856, at its present site on the farm of Capt. William D. Moore.
