Morristown and Community
The Baptist church at Hanover transferred to the
Christian church and continued holding their services
at Hanover until 1880, when they erected their present
building in Morristown. This building was remodeled
and enlarged a few years ago. (1946).
The Town of Hanover..
The first church at Hanover was organized July 26,
1823, according to the original document, now the
property of Mrs. Ina Logan Gordon, excerpts from which
state. "A number of Brethern and Sisters of the
Regular Baptist Order with letters of recommendation,
together with one recently baptised, met at the house
of Moses Blood for the purpose of uniting together in
Church Order, under the name Brethern and Sisters
expressing a desire of uniting in Chhurch relation:
Present, William Oldham, James Tyner, Jepe Miller,
Jonathan Hill, Solomon Tyner, George Penwell, David
Fisher, Isaac Benjamin, Richard Tyner, Anna Blood,
Rachel Miller, Arvilla Dyer, Almene Stone, Rebeckah
Cole, Arletta Benjamin, Nanny Hill, Martha Osborn,
Anna Penwell, Presilla Tyner, Jeremiah Tyner."
Early school records of Hanover show that the first
school was held there in 1823 in the homes of the
settlers at night, and was taught by Levi Young,
Moses, and John Kitchell. The first teacher regularly
employed (subscription school) was Moses Blood, who
taught a term in 1824 in a log cabin which stood near
the present site of the Hanover church in section 23.
It is assumed, as was the case in other early
settlements, that this cabin was used both for school
and church purposes.
Who was your Stone connection? Can't recall the name.
