Names Extracted from the Minutes of the First Baptist Church in Sevierville
Originally named "Forks of the Little Pigeon Baptist Church." Established 1789.
Transcribed from the originals by Joe Sharp. Sharp's transcript was copied and compared to the original by Harold Ownby in 1985.
This list typed from Harold's copy. This is just an attempt to get the names made available and not to copy the entire minutes. Hopefully, this will help people who are trying to locate their families in this place and time.
A debt of gratitude is owed to Harold for all the work necessary to provide this copy. Edna Clack 1999
The Church was destroyed during the war and reorganized in 1876.
Names of members as of Sept 5, 1807, in the order they appeared. I don't know the significance of the order nor why husband and wives aren't listed together. [Note: The identity of "I" in this introduction was not recorded.]
