"In May, 1804, Shoal Creek [Baptist Church] received a petition from Liberty Meeting House for helps for constitution. A presbytery was appointed, which reported in July that the constitution took place on the 28th day of June of sixty members under the pastoral guidance of Francis Callaway, long an active member, deacon, and minister of Shoal Creek.
"The mother church, with her many arms, listed two hundred and nine members in fellowship in September, 1797, most of whom must have been in South Carolina. She was conscientious in "deeling" with members. The church book, kept at first by Charles Bond as clerk with Francis Callaway as assistant in 1798, and then by William Callaway in 1804, is a full and engagingly misspelled record of the sins and struggles of the members.[1]
