ST. LUKE'S REFORMED CHURCH
was organized December 31, 1871, by Rev. P. M. Trexler, with twenty members, and now has forty- five members. Rev. P. M. Trexler was pastor from December 31, 1871, to June, 1877; Rev. John Ingle, from January 1, 1878, to present time.
Mount Hope, Shiloh, and St. Luke's are offshoots of Lower Stone (Grace Church).
MOUNT ZION REFORMED CHURCH
is situated ten miles south of Salisbury on the Con- cord Road. Next to Lower Stone it is probably the oldest Reformed Church in the county. For many years this church worshiped in the same house with the Lutherans at "Savage's." But when the Luther- ans erected a new church, about forty years ago, the German Reformed erected a new church also near the old site, and named it Mount Zion. They have lately erected a second handsome brick church. This church has been served by a succession of ministers, in many cases the same who served the Lower Stone Church. Rev. P. M. Trexler is the present pastor. The author regrets that his efforts to get accurate statistics of this church have failed, and that he is compelled to give such a general account of it.

HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY
Rowan County contains three charges of the Ger- man Reformed Church: Central Rowan, Rev. John Ingle pastor, 139 members ; West Rowan, Rev. P. M. Trexler pastor, 290 members; East Rowan, Rev. R. F. Crooks pastor, 433 members. Pastors 3, Churches 5, members 862. From the total membership we must subtract about 145 members who belong to Mount Gilead Church, in Cabarrus County.
THE BAPTIST CHURCHES OF ROWAN
According to Benedict's "History of the Baptists," the oldest church of this denomination in America is the First Baptist Church, of Providence, R. I. Roger Williams, having been banished from Massachusetts by the General Court, by a decree adopted in Novem- ber, 1635, because he taught that the civil magistrate ought not to interfere in cases of heresy, apostasy, and for other offenses against the first table of the law, wandered into the regions outside the jurisdiction of Massachusetts, and the following year laid the foundations of the city of Providence. In the course of three years a number of families cast in their lot with Williams, and in March, 1639, he and Ezekiel Holliman and ten others, met to organize a church. The whole company regarded themselves as unbap- tized, and as they knew none to whom they could apply for baptism, they appointed Mr. Holliman to baptize Mr. Williams, and he in his turn baptized Mr. Holliman and the ten others. The families of these first members probably also belonged to their church, and in a short time they were reinforced with twelve other members. From this beginning this denomina- tion gradually spread abroad through New England, and in the middle colonies. The growth was not rapid, for at the expiration of the first hundred years it is estimated that there were but thirty-seven Bap- tist churches in America, and probably less than three
474

thousand members. At this period, however, there began an era of extraordinary growth. In 1740, George Whitefield began to preach in Boston, and multitudes were converted to God. Many of these con- verts became Baptists, and were called "Separates" or "New Lights." Seven of these "Separates" organized the Second Baptist Church, of Boston, and their views spread abroad.
In 1754, Shubeal Stearns, with eight families and sixteen members, set out from Boston for the South. After halting for awhile in Virginia, they settled ultimately on Sandy Creek, in Randolph County, N. C. They were of the "Separate," or "New Light" order of Baptists. They were not, however, the first Baptists in North Carolina. As far back as 1727, Paul Palmer gathered a Baptist Church at a place called Perquimans, on the Chowan River. About 1742, one William Sojourner led a colony from Berk- ley County, Va., and established a Baptist Church on Kehukee Creek, in Halifax County, N. C. But the Sandy Creek Church, under Shubeal Stearns, was the first organization of the kind in West- ern North Carolina. In 1854, the Baptists of North Carolina were visited by the Rev. John Gano, the Rev. Benjamin Miller, and the Rev. Peter P. Vanhorn, who were sent South by the Philadelphia Association. When the Rev. Hugh McAden, a Presbyterian minis- ter, visited North Carolina in 1755, he found a Mr. Miller-he says-a Baptist minister, preaching and visiting in the Jersey Church. By his labors and those of the Rev. Mr. Gano, a Baptist Church was estab-
475
BAPTIST CHURCHES OF ROWAN
lished at the Jersey Meeting-house, that has continued from that day to this. Mr. McAden expressed the fear that the- Presbyterians, who seem to have been the most numerous previous to that time, would soon become too weak to call or support a minister. His fears have been realized.
About 1768 or 1770, the Rev. Mr. Draige, an Epis- copal minister, effected an organization of the Episco- pal Church in the "Jerseys," but that church too ceased, in time, to occupy the field. The Baptists re- mained in possession, and the Jersey Church became the parent of nearly all the Baptist Churches of Rowan. There were other Baptist Churches, a hun- dred years ago, on the Uwharie River, on Abbott's Creek, and in Surry County. But for three quarters of a century this denomination made little progress in the present limits of Rowan. The churches as they now exist, as well as can be ascertained, originated as follows :
FLAT CREEK
is a Primitive Baptist Church, and is situated in the edge of Rowan, near the Stanly line, on the Yadkin River, and was considered an old church forty years ago. It is probably an offshoot of the Sandy Creek Church of Shubeal Stearns. The membership is small.
CORINTH
is situated at Morgan's muster ground, about fourteen miles east of Salisbury, about four miles from the
476
HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY
Yadkin. It was organized in 1868, from converts of a meeting held by the Rev. Messrs. Morton, Carter, and Lambeth. This church has the largest member- ship-about one hundred-of any Baptist Church in the county, and has a neat and comfortable house of worship. Rev. Mr. Hodge is the pastor.
MOUNT ZION
was organized, in 1867, from converts of the same meeting. This church has about twelve members, and worships in an arbor, eleven miles from Salisbury, beyond Dutch Second Creek. Rev. J. C. Denny preaches there.
GOLD HILL
Church was organized in 1871. This church owns a house, but its membership is not very large. Rev. J. B. Stiers was their first preacher. After him the Rev. Mr. Stokes preached to them awhile.
TRADING FORD
Church was established as a branch of the Jersey Church in 1756, and was served by the Rev. William Lambeth for fifteen years, beginning in 1853, before the organization, and continuing until 1869. They commenced in the woods, with a schoolhouse and an arbor, but have now a comfortable building of their own, eight miles east of Salisbury, on the Miller's Ferry Road. In the summer of 1870, Elders Bessent, Allison, and one other, met as a Presbytery and or- ganized it a full and separate church. Since Mr.
477
BAPTIST CHURCHES OF ROWAN
Lambeth ceased to minister to them they have had as ministers, Rev. C. W. Bessent, Rev. W. R. Gwaltny, Rev. S. F. Conrad, and Rev. Mr. Morton.
SALISBURY BAPTIST CHURCH
On the eleventh of August, 1849, the Baptists wor- shiping in Salisbury were set off as a branch of the Jersey Church, under the ministry of the Rev. S. J. O'Brien, a talented and earnest preacher of the gos- pel. The next year-April 21, 1850-the Rev. J. B. Soloman became minister in charge, and the following month (May 26) the Branch was constituted a regular Baptist Church, with Mr. Soloman as pastor, and John A. Wierman as church clerk. There were at that time ten white and eight colored members, eighteen in all. In August of the same year, the church united with the Liberty Association. In September, 1851, Mr. Soloman resigned, and the church was vacant until November 6, 1852, when Rev. R. H. Griffith took charge and served it until 1854. In 1856, the Rev. J. C. Averitt established a school in Salisbury, and served the church for one year. In 1857, the Rev. William Lambeth, of Salisbury, who had been ordained in 1854, and was preaching at Trading Ford, was chosen pastor of the church. Be- ing destitute of a house of their own, and the war com- ing on in a few years, the little band was scattered, and services were suspended.
Near the close of the war, the Rev. Theodore White- field preached in Salisbury occasionally, but for ten years after this time, no regular services were held
478
HISTORY OF ROWAN COUNTY
by this church. In November, 1876, the North Caro- lina Baptist Association appointed the Rev. J. B. Boone to labor in Salisbury, and rebuild, if possible, this declining church. Seven members rallied around him, only seven of the fifty-seven who were here in 1855. On the third of February, 1877, the church was dissolved in order to form a new organization, with others who were to be added by baptism. On the next day twelve others were baptized, and on the following day (February 5, 1877), a Presbytery con- sisting of the Rev. Messrs. F. M. Jordan, W. R. Gwaltny, Theodore Whitefield, William Lambeth, and J. B. Boone, constituted the Salisbury Baptist Church, with nineteen members. In September following, the church united with the South River Association.
This church does not yet possess a house of wor- ship, but services are held twice a month in a public hall. Nearly two years ago, however, a lot near the courthouse was secured for four hundred dollars. Since that time a more desirable lot, on the corner of Church and Council Streets, adjoining Oak Grove Cemetery, has been secured, and there they expect soon to erect a church.
The present number of members is fifty. Cal- vinistic in doctrine, congregational in government, of the order called Missionary Baptists, this church holds up the light of the Gospel and points sinners to the Lamb of God.
The materials for this sketch have been collected from Benedict's "History of the Baptists," notes
479
BAPTIST CHURCHES OF ROWAN
furnished by Rev. J. B. Boone, and recollections of Rev. William Lambeth.
In closing these sketches of the Rowan Churches, it may be remarked that there are a few small Protest- ant Methodist Churches in the county, and perhaps a Northern Methodist Church or two, but the writer has no facts in possession concerning them. There are also a number of Roman Catholics in Salisbury, who are visited occasionally by priests from Charlotte and elsewhere.
Since their emancipation, the colored people of Rowan have formed themselves into churches in all parts of the county. In Salisbury there are two Bap- tist colored churches, one Methodist, and one Presby- terian, with their regular pastors, and each of these denominations have several churches in the county. Some of these ministers, especially in the town, are well-educated, earnest, and pious men, and are labor- ing to elevate their people, not only by their regular pulpit ministrations, but by means of schools for their daily instruction. They are now working out the great problem of their social regeneration, and ac- cumulating by their efforts materials that may be properly and profitably incorporated in some future History of the Churches of Rowan.
