Note: MISSIONARY BAPTIST CHURCHES
The New Discovery Baptist Church was organized August 29, 1834, with ten members whose names were as follows : Samuel Medley, Abraham Coleman, George Mater, Sarah Adams, Elizabeth Barns, Mary Ball, Margaret Crooks, Jane Odell, Nancy Crooks, and Susan Mater. Samuel Medley was the first pastor. At first services were held at the homes of members and at the local schoolhouse. About 1845 the society built a frame house in the southwest corner of the southeast quarter of section 23 in Adams Township, on an uneven, triangular lot, donated by Dennis Ball.
All of the original members except Abraham Coleman and Sarah Adams were excluded from the church prior to 1844. The pastor was excluded, restored, and excluded a second time. These exclusions were not for misconduct, but "for uniting with another church of a different faith and order." A letter of dismissal from a Baptist church was not valid for membership in any other church of a different faith.
Some of the early pastors were Peter Swaim, P. T. Palmer, Jacob Smock, and C. B. Allen. Later members were S. K. Fuson, W. T. Cuppy, A. H. Dooley, and A. D. Merrill. The present pastor is W. C. Tatum. Thirty-five residents and thirty non-resident members constitute the present membership. There were 421 accessions to the church during the first fifty years of its existence, with fifty-three remaining at the close of that period. About 1896 the first house was removed and a modern frame building erected which is still in use.
At an early date a cemetery was laid out just across the road north of the church. Another cemetery was started on the Peter Swaim farm one mile west of the churcl1. It was abandoned long ago. A third cemetery or family graveyard, on the Hatfield farm a half mile east of the church is also abandoned.
Bridgeton
About 1850 Elder Peter M. Swaim, whose residence was a mile west of the New Discovery Church, conducted meetings in private houses at Bridgeton and vicinity. The Baptist people here were members of the New Discovery Church, and decided it would be more convenient to organize a separate society and build a church in their new locality. About 1853 a house was built at Bridgeton. On June 3, 1853 a council from New Discovery and other churches of the Freedom Association organized a society. Elder P. T. Palmer was moderator, and R. Davis was clerk of this council. In February, 1854 thirty members of the New Discovery Church called for and were granted letters of dismissal for the purpose of uniting with the Bridgeton society, making a membership of forty-two at Bridgeton. Their first pastor was Peter M. Swaim, and their first clerk was Jacob Smock, who, with C. B. Allen, James Steward, and James M. Crooks, was licensed and ordained minister from this church. In 1879 the society built a new house which is still in use. James Rea, Margaret Rea, Charles Hendricks, Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Rea, Mr. and Mrs. Ocie Campbell, Mr. and Mrs. Marvin Greenleet, Anna Miller, and Mr. and Mrs. William Hartman constitute a part of the present membership, which is twenty-five resident and thirty-five non-resident members. Reverend J. M. Newsom preached for them twice a month last year, but at present they have no regular pastor.
