Located in Fayette Co. Ky. on Jack's reek Tpk. The fourth conference or convention at Mt. Gilead church on May 28, 1823, members from 4 churches constituted Boone's Creek Assn. The messengers from this church at the organization [of Boone's Creek Assn.] were their pastor Elder Geo. G. Boone, Elder Benjamin W. Riley, Vinnian Riley, James T. Riley and Thomas Prather. When the messengers convened May 28, 1823 they elected Elder Jacob Creath moderator and Wm. Steerman clerk. Elder Jacob Creath was elected the first moderator of Boone's Creek Assn. and Elder Benjamin W. Riley the first clerk. Elder Geo. G. Boone was first member of Boone's Creek Church, from which he was ordained to the ministry on March 2, 1815. Mt. Gilead reported by letter and messengers every year until 1829 when she reported 126 members. In that year the seperation between the Baptists and Reformers occurred and Mt. Gilead was one of the 7 churches that voted in favor of retaining the constitution of Boone's Creek Assn. In 1849 Mt. Gilead was dropped from Boone's Creek Assn.   Back   Next
